PREFACE. 



The history of our Library from the foundation of the College has 
been sketched in outline by Dr. J. K. Ingram, in his Address to the 
Congress of Librarians, 1884, and by Dr. T. K. Abbott, in the 
Book of Trinity College, and again in the preface to his General 
Catalogue of our mss. Both have given some interesting parti- 
culars as to the history of our collection of manuscripts, but we 
have as yet no detailed study of its origin and growth. It may be 
worth while to put together here in a few pages what can be learned 
as to the provenance of our Irish MSS., with which alone this 
volume is concerned. I shall confine myself to inquiring when 
and how they came into our Library ; what is known as to the 
earlier history of each manuscript will be found in the description 
of each under its number, or in the literature there quoted. Until 
quite recently no continuous official record was kept of acquisitions 
by gift or purchase. We possess indeed several volumes of Library 
Minutes, extending from 1786 onward, the earlier part of which, 
down to 1821, we owe mainly to the eccentric but industrious 
Dr. John Barrett, who was Librarian during most of that period. 
I have searched these Minutes carefully and gleaned some stray 
details, but they are mainly occupied with Library routine. Our 
main source of information is the series of Catalogues of mss. 
which are now to be described, supplemented by what we can 
learn from the manuscripts themselves. 

The Catalogues. — Those that concern us (setting aside some 
which only deal with printed books) are : — 

1. The earliest, classed D. 1. 7. It is undated, but is later than 
the gift of Ussher's library in 1661. The arrangement is " local," 
by press, shelf, and number. 

2. D. 1. 6, with its rough copy D. 1.8, both dated 1688. The 
arrangement is alphabetical, with press-marks added, which differ

from those in no. i. Some entries in the rough copy are omitted 
in the fair copy, no doubt by accident. The main entries in the latter 
are printed in E. Bernard Catal. Lib. mss. Angliae et Hiberniae, 
1697, vol. ii, pt. 2, p. 16. Prom this again Lhwyd abstracted his 
list of Irish mss. in Trinity College, printed in Archaologia 
Britannica, 435. 

3. A catalogue compiled about 1743* by John Lyon, a Canon 
of St. Patrick's, and a scholar of some note (see Dictionary of 
National Biography). In this, and in the two following, a local 
arrangement is followed, which is still preserved in the main for 
presses A to G. An abstract of Lyon's description of presses A to 
E, by Sir J. T. Gilbert, is printed in the fourth Report of the 
Historical MSS. Commission (1873), pp. 588-598. 

4. The Monck- Mason Catalogue, 5 vols. (L. 1. 14-18). In 
July, 1812, H. J. Monck-Mason was appointed by the Irish 
Commissioners of Public Records to compile a complete Cata- 
logue of our mss. He was occupied with this for twelve years or 
so, and prepared a draft for publication. The Commissioners 
seem to have intended to print his work, but in the end this was 
not done; and when the Commission was dissolved in 1830, the 
draft was apparently left on Mason's hands. The Board of Trinity 
proposed to publish it at the College's expense, but he seems to 
have declined this offer, and he finally sold his work to the College 
in 1837 f° r £ I2 °-\ Dr. Abbott's account of the circumstances in 
the preface to his General Catalogue is based on the statement 
prefixed to Mason's first volume, but Mason's complaints against 
the Commissioners are not borne out by the documents in the 
Public Record Office. The task of describing the Irish mss. in 
Press H was entrusted by the editor to Edward O'Reilly, who 
seems to have completed his part of the task in 1819 or soon after. J

5. From 1836 to 1840 John O'Donovan was employed in com- 
piling; a much fuller and better account of Press H. It is un- 
finished, breaking off at p. 48 of H. 3. 18 (no. 1337). 

6. In the year 1900 Dr. Abbott published the first printed 
Catalogue of our mss. that went beyond the limits of Bernard's, 
already mentioned. He adopted the plan of giving each MS. a 
single number. 

The arrangement of the mss. on the shelves has been repeatedly 
altered, as the collection grew and was shifted from one room 
to another; hence arises a series of different shelf-marks, the older 
ones being often lost and obliterated. This naturally causes much 
difficulty in identifying the entries in the successive Catalogues, 
since the earlier compilers did not see the necessity of keeping a 
record of previous arrangements. In the case of Irish mss., the 
difficulty is increased by the vagueness of the descriptions given. 
Besides, the original volumes have in many cases been broken up 
and the parts recombined, often in a quite arbitrary fashion. Our 
present Librarian, Dr. J. G. Smyly, has made a careful study of the 
press-marks, and has succeeded, at the cost of much trouble, in 
identifying nearly all the mss. mentioned in the two earliest 
Catalogues. His results are embodied in a finding index which 
makes it possible to refer readily from these catalogues to Lyon's, 
and vice versa. We shall now proceed to trace the successive 
stages by which the collection grew to its present dimensions. 

Carew, Ussher, Stearne. — The first Irish manuscripts to come 
into our possession were five volumes, now nos- 1432 to 1436, 
which were presented by Sir George Carew, President of Munster, 
and author of Pacaia Hibernia. He died in 1629. These five are 
entered in Catalogue 1* 

In the year 1661, Ussher's library, which had been purchased 
by Cromwell's Army in 1657, was given by the Irish House of 

* Only 1432 and 1435 are there noted as " sometimes belonging to Sir George 
Carew"; both of these, and also 1436, bear his signature on the first leaf. 
Lyon puts down all five to him (or rather to his brother, Sir Peter ; but this 
is an obvious error, as Sir Peter died before the College was founded). In 
Catalogue I, no. 1433 is entered in a late hand, and both here and in Cata- 
logue 2 only the third part of the volume {Leabhar Gdbh&la) is described.

Commons to Trinity College. The vicissitudes through which the 
collection had passed are described by Dr. Abbott in his article in 
the Book of Trinity College, p. 149. Another account of the 
circumstances will be found in Urwick's Early History of Trinity 
College, p. go.* Although the gift was made in 1661, the books 
and mss. do not seem to have been housed in our Library until 
1666. We have unfortunately no list of Ussher's Mss.,t though we 
have more than one catalogue of his printed books. There is no 
doubt that the principal contents of our Presses A to E come 
from his library, but we cannot prove that any particular MS. 
belonged to him, except by internal evidence. We have such 
evidence for nos. 574, 580, 582, 591 ; these are miscellaneous 
collections, of which only such parts as are in the Irish language 
are described in the present volume ; some account of their other 
contents will be found in Dr. Abbott's General Catalogue. As 
to the Book of Kells (no. 58), there is no reason to question the 
tradition which assigns it to Ussher. He certainly had it in his 
hands when he was Bishop of Meath (Gilbert, National mss., p. 21), 
and he made a collation of its text (Ussher's Works, ed. Elrington, 
vi, 232). Our Book of Hymns (no. 1441) in all probability 
belonged to him ; but the ' codex vetustissimus ' which he describes 
(Works, vii, 300) is not ours, but the Franciscan copy.J From 
this latter he had transcripts made, which are now in no. 591. 
We may presume that he once owned the Book of Ballymote 
and the Book of Lecan,§ which he used in preparing his 
Antiquitates. They were for a short time in our Library : see 
p. xvii, infra. If we add no. 77 and no. 1437, which may or may not 
have come from Ussher, we shall have enumerated all the mss. from 
Presses A to E which are included in this Catalogue. They may

of the Cromwellians rests on the unsupported assertion of Dr. Parr (Life of 
Ussher, p. 102), and is effectively refuted by CJrwick.

In 1 741 John Stearne, Bishop of Clogher, presented to the 
College a number of manuscripts, among them five wholly or 
partly in the Irish language; these are nos. 804, 1438, 1439, 1440, 
and 1699. Stearne's mss. are described by Lyon as "formerly 
belonging to Dr. John Madden," but this is too loose a statement ; 
at all events, the list of Madden's mss. printed in Bernard's Cata- 
logi, vol. ii, pt. 2, p. 57, includes only one of these five, our 
no. 804, which is Bernard's no. 1649. But all five must belong 
to the Stearne bequest, as they are housed in Press F, which is

described in Lyon's Catalogue (about 1743) as containing 
" Codices mss. ex dono Rev. adm. viri Johannis Stearne." The 
only other Irish MS. added in Lyon's Catalogue is no. 143 1, 
presented by William Barry, m.a. 

Press H.—Kt the date of Lyon's catalogue the Library possessed 
only eleven volumes wholly or mainly in the Irish language. The 
bulk of our Irish collection, now kept in press H * was acquired 
in the following fifty years. The earliest list of the contents of 
this press is entered by Dr. John Barrett at p. 318 of Lyon's 
Catalogue. The numbers in this list -run consecutively, without 
division into shelves, from H 1 to H 87 (now no. 1370-t A short 
description, often very vague, is given for each number. The 
entry is undated, but as it includes a manuscript H 14, now 
no. 1291, which the Library Minutes (March 28, 1810) mention 
as purchased in 1807, the list cannot be earlier than the latter 
date. Unfortunately it is certainly not exhaustive, for it omits 
three of the Sebright volumes (nos. 1335, 1380, 1392), which, as 
will presently be shown, came into the Library in 1786. Again, 
although Barrett mentions most of the Sullivan mss., some are 
wanting: yet in all probability they were acquired at the same 
time as the rest. It is therefore not safe to infer that any 
MS. omitted by Barrett was not in the Library when he made 
out his list. In point of fact, I believe that the twenty-one MSS. 
which O'Reilly's Catalogue adds to Barrett's list were all in the 
Library before 1786. My reasons for thinking so are these. First, 
if O'Reilly's work was finished in 1819 (see above, p. vi, foot-note), 
the mss. enumerated therein were all in the Library in Barrett's 
time. Secondly, if any of them had been acquired between 
1786 and 1821, the fact would be noted in the Library Minutes, 
which Barrett kept during those years with scrupulous care. As 
we shall presently see, he registers duly the Sebright gift and the 



* Before the shifting of the mss. in 1802, described in Book of T.C.D., 
p. 177, the Irish mss. seem to have been divided between Press H and Press I 
(Lib. Min., Feb. 7, 1803). I find in the College Register, May 13, 1815, a 
minute directing the Assistant Librarian to arrange the mss. in presses H, I, K, L, 
putting the Irish mss. together. Barrett's list may have been made on this 
occasion. 

r This list is continued in Dr. Abbott's hand.

purchase of Vallancey's mss., and he has similarly recorded the 
acquisition of Icelandic and Oriental mss. during this period. 
Thirdly, the added mss. are all earlier in date than 1786. 
The question remains, why Barrett did not complete his list. 
I can only suggest that he found it very difficult to describe these 
mss., as he evidently knew no Irish, and that he left a number 
which seemed to him more puzzling or less important until a 
more convenient season, which never came. 

O'Reilly carries on Barrett's numbering from H 88 to H 106, 
and then adds " H. 4. 1 " and "H.4. 2," after which he writes 
"End of H." In July, 1835, Dr. J. H. Todd, finding, as he says, 
that the class H books had "become much deranged," decided to 
renumber them according to shelves. Thus H. 21 became H. 2. 7, 
and so on : the sequence of volumes was, however, preserved. 
At the same time Todd made out a complete list of Press H, as 
enumerated by O'Reilly, adding one item, H. 5. 21. This list 
he wrote in at the beginning of O'Reilly's volume, giving the old 
and the new classing. Somewhat later he added at the end of 
O'Reilly's catalogue brief descriptions of H. 5. 21 to H. 5. 30; 
later entries add further H. 5. 31 and 32, and all Irish mss. since 
acquired are placed in the same press. 

We have now to inquire to what sources the manuscripts in H 
can be traced. 

Sullivan MSS. — A large number were collected by Dr. Francis 
Stoughton Sullivan, who was elected Fellow in 1738 and died in 
1766. His zeal for Irish literature at a time when it was generally 
neglected and despised deserves all praise ; but he was very un- 
fortunate in his choice of Hugh O'Daly as scribe. He employed 
this man between the years 1740 and 1760; during that period 
O'Daly wrote nos. 1280, 1284, 1285, 1286, 1287, 1288, 1291, 1346, 
1358, 1360, 1377, 1384, 1406, and part of 1391. Most of these are 
stated to have been written for Dr. Sullivan. The rest were no 
doubt written to his order, and nos. 1374 and 1390, which O'Daly 
wrote at earlier dates, were probably purchased by his patron. 
Dr. Sullivan possessed a few other Irish mss. No. 1279, an im- 
perfect copy of the Four Masters, transcribed by O' Gorman from a 
ms. belonging to the elder Charles O'Conor (now in the Royal Irish 
Academy, Stowe c iii, 3), contains a fragmentary translation (vol. i. 



PREFACE. 



ff. 25-72) in Dr. Sullivan's hand, so that he was probably the owner. 
No. 1378 certainly belonged to him, also, probably, no. 1381, and 
it is likely that he owned no. 1383, which is written by a scribe of 
the same family as the writers of 1378 and 1381, and has traces of 
O'Daly's handiwork. In no. 1289 there are notes in Sullivan's hand 
at pp. 5s, 125, 137, etc., but these scarcely amount to a proof of 
ownership. Except for 1291, which was bought from a bookseller 
in 1807, I have found no evidence as to when and how Sullivan's 
mss. came into our possession.* 

Fergus MSS. — A small but important group of manuscripts 
comes to us from the collection of Dr. John Fergus, a Dublin 
doctor, about whom Sir J. Gilbert has given some particulars in 
his article on Dublin streets in the Irish Quarterly Review for 
1853, p. 610, note: see also an account of the Liber Flavus 
Fergusiorum in Trans. R.I.A. for March, 1906. His books were 
sold after his death in 1766, and O'Curry states (MS. Mat. 98) that 
the Library of Trinity College bought the volumes now known as 
the Annals of Ulster (no. 1282), Annals of Loch C6 (no. 1293), 
and Annals of the Four Masters (nos. 1300 and 1301). The 
sale catalogue which O'Curry mentions as pasted in Vallancey's 
Green Book (now R.I.A., 24 E 4) is no longer there; but the 
Academy possesses a copy of this catalogue made by Hardiman 
(23 D 20, p. 90). This, however, does not give the names of 
purchasers. O'Curry's words seem to imply that Trinity College 
bought only the three annalistic compilations ; but there is 
evidence to show that a few other volumes were bought at the same 
time. For Vallancey has noted in his Green Book (which is a 
kind of finding index to mss. and other incunabula) the names of 
those who purchased manuscripts from the Fergus collection, and 
he sets down four volumes as acquired by Trinity College. These 
he describes as " An Expositor in Irish," " History of Ireland, 
by Keating," "Miscellanies in Irish," "Prosody in Irish." Of 
these the first is our no. 1331, which is given the same odd title in 
Barrett's list; the second must be our no. 1332, as all our other 
copies of Keating are otherwise accounted for ; the third may by 
a like process of exclusion be confide ntly identified with no. 1347 

* Probably after his death in 1766 and before 1786, when Barrett's Minutes 
begin.

(written by M. O'Gorman) ; the fourth is too vaguely described for 
recognition. Strangely enough, neither the sale catalogue nor 
Vallancey makes mention of the three more important purchases 
made by Trinity College at the Fergus sale. Gilbert, in the article 
already referred to, asserts that the whole collection, with the 
exception of the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum, was acquired by Trinity 
College, but this is certainly a mistake ; Vallancey notes a number 
of volumes as purchased by Lord Drogheda and other collectors or 
dealers. 

There is, however, reason to believe that besides the purchases 
attested by O' Curry and Vallancey, one at least of our medical 
Mss. was formerly the property of Dr. Fergus. The proof of this 
depends on the identification of his handwriting. In no. 1301, 
which, as we have seen, certainly belonged to him, there are bound 
into the ms. seven pages of notes in English written in a bad hand of 
the eighteenth century, and as these notes are immediately followed 
by a curious letter from Myles Higgins, of Castlebar, to " Dr. Fargus, 
Jarvis Street, Dublin," the presumption arises that they were written 
by Dr. Fergus. This presumption becomes a certainty when we find 
in his copy of the Annals of Ulster (no. 1282) a page of English 
notes in the same bad hand, again followed by a letter addressed 
by a patient, Geo. Macnemara, to " My dear D r ," and dated 1752. 
Now, in no. 1333, the hand which we have thus learned to recognize 
as that of Dr. Fergus has inserted references to the original text 
of the Hippocratic aphorisms; there is also a scrap of paper, now 
pasted to the cover of the volume, containing some lines of Greek 
transliterated into English characters, in the same handwriting. 
We may conclude that this manuscript belonged to Dr. Fergus. 
It is to be noted that No. 1333 follows on the shelf two manuscripts, 
1331 and 1332, which we have already traced to the same source. 
We cannot identify it with an entry in the sale catalogue, 
" Hypocratis Aphorisms written on vellum, very ancient," for 
Vallancey puts down this volume to Lord Drogheda.* We may, 

*By the kindness of the present Earl, I have been able to examine the 
library at Moore Abbey, which still contains several mss. from the Fergus collec- 
tion. I could not find the Hippocrates, but it is mentioned in the catalogue of 
the library, and Dr. Douglas Hyde tells me that lie saw it there some years ago.

however, recognize it in another of Fergus' mss. which is de- 
scribed in the sale catalogue as "A medical piece, a very 
ancient MS." 

Sebright Gift.— The importance of our Irish collection depends 
above all on the manuscripts presented to the Library by Sir John 
Sebright. Most of them were originally gathered by Edward Lhwyd 
during a tour which he made in Ireland in the year 1700. His note- 
books (see nos. 1368 1369, 1380, 1392) give some hints as to the 
places he visited and as to some persons from whom he hoped to make 
purchases. After his death, in 1709, this part of his collection was 
bought by Sir Thomas Sebright, from whom it passed to Sir John, 
the sixth baronet. Edmund Burke persuaded this gentleman to 
send his mss. over to Dublin for examination in 1782 or earlier * and 
he was prevailed on to present them to Trinity College in 1786.+ 
We possess a " Catalogue of Sir John Sebright's collection of Irish 
mss. Presented to the College of Dublin," which was apparently 
drawn up at the time of the gift. It consists of forty-three items, 
numbered 1 to 47, the numbers 23, 27, 31, and 46 being omitted. 
It is, however, a very unsatisfactory list ; the descriptions of the 
nineteen vellum mss. are sometimes too vague for identification, 
and most of the twenty-four paper mss. are merely referred to by 
number. A fuller enumeration is found in Barrett's table of 
Press H, already mentioned. In this the Sebright mss. are carefully 
marked to the number of forty-one ; yet this also is an incomplete 
account, threenumbers (1335, 1380, 1392), which certainly belonged 
to Lhwyd, being omitted. When Todd drew up his fuller table of 
Press H, he also marked the Sebright mss., making forty-six items. 
But he errs on the other side. He puts down to Sebright 
nos. 1321, 1322, 1391, 1392, 1393, not so counted by Barrett. He 
is right as to 1392, but 1391 belongs to the Sullivan mss. ; as to 
the other three, there is no internal evidence to decide between 
Barrett and Todd, and it is safer to trust Barrett, who was Assistant

have been successful.

Librarian at the date of the gift. Neither of these authorities 
attributes to Sebright three mss. which can be shown by internal 
evidence to come from his collection: these are 1328, 1335, 
and 1380. Including these, we may set down fifty-three 'numbers as 
coming from this source: — 1298, 1302 to 1320 inclusive, 1328, 
I33S. 1336, i337> '339 to 1344, 1349 to 1356, 1362 to 1371, 
1380, 1392, 1401, 1442, 1443.* 

It must be observed that not all of the Sebright MSS.f can 
have been collected by Lhwyd ; the following are dated later than 
1709, the year of his death:— 1342, 1344, 1353, 1354, 1356, 1364, 
1365, 1371. Also no. 1343 was in the hands of Sean O Caisin, 
Kilkenny, in 171 1 (p. 3). Most of the rest bear Lhwyd's name or 
seal or other internal proof of ownership ; there remain five 
which were probably his, but may have reached Sebright from 
some other quarter ; these are 1 3 1 5, 1340, 1341, 1350, 1352. 

Vallancey. — A memorandum in the Library minutes for 28th May, 
1792, and a further entry at June 8th, 1792, both in the hand of 
Dr. Barrett, record that Nos. 1324 to 1329I were bought at a sale 
of Vallancey's books. One of them, no. 1328, has already been 
noted as belonging to the Sebright collection. By what chance it 
passed through Vallancey's hands I cannot say. Probably he 
borrowed it when the collection was first sent over to Dublin, and 
failed to return it when the mss. were given to Trinity College. 
Anyhow, there is on the flyleaf the note " From Sir John Seabright's 
Collection," and below, in another hand, "Purchased at Col. 
Vallancey's sale, June, 1792." No. 1402 was presented by Vallancey 
in 1802 ; he may also have owned no. 1292, in which there is a 
note in Irishon the flyleaf by Charles O'Conor the elder, saying 
that Major Vallancey had lent him the book in 1774. 

Later Additions.— O'Reilly's Catalogueends with no. 1392. The 
rest of Press H (1393-1422, with 1698, 1701, and 1712-1716) must 
have been added after its completion, excepting no. 1401, which 

*In comparing this list with Todd's, it must be noted that H. 2. 12 is divided 
by Dr. Abbott into thirteen numbers, whereas Todd counts it as eight. 

t Dr. Abbott's statements as to the Sebright mss. are erroneous in several 
particulais. 

+ Dr. Todd and Dr. Abbott add no. 1323, but this is a mistake, due to- 
reading somewhat hastily Barrett's entry at p. 318 of Lyon's Catalogue.

wsa originally part of no. 13 16, and no. 1402, presented by Vallancey 
in 1802, but ignored by O'Reilly. These later acquisitions we owe 
no doubt mainly to Dr. J. H. Todd, who was elected Fellow in 
1831, and became Assistant Librarian in 1834. Always zealous in 
the cause of Irish scholarship, he induced the Board of Trinity to 
employ O'Curry and Hennessy in making transcripts from impor- 
tant codices, and to retain the services of John O'Donovan for five 
years on his Catalogue. From O'Donovan we received nos. 1398, 
1399, 1400, 1420, 1701. We also acquired three of O'Reilly's mss. 
{1419, 1421, 1422); the bulk of his great collection went, however, 
to the Royal Irish Academy. O'Donovan (preface to Four Masters, 
xxxiii) mentions no. 1 397 as bought by Dr. Todd in London a few 
years previously. No. 1403 was bought at the sale of Archbishop 
Tenison's library in 1861.* A number ot transcripts and miscel- 
laneous papers belonging to Bishop Reeves were bought after his 
•death in i8g2.f 

It remains to mention three important Latin-Irish codices, 
which contain Irish notes or glosses. The Book of Moling 
(no. 60) was deposited in the Library towards the end of the 
eighteenth century % by Mr. Kavanagh, of Borris Idrone, to whose 
family it had belonged for centuries. The intention of Mr. 
Kavanagh to present it to the College was at one time in debate, 
but our right of ownership was finally recognized in 1895. The 
Book of Dimma (no. 59) was bought from Sir W. Betham in 1836. § 
In 1853, the Book of Armagh being for sale, Reeves, then a country 
rector and a poor man, paid ^300 to save this treasure for Ireland. 
Primate John George Beresford thereupon reimbursed the sum to 
Reeves, and presented the Book to Trinity College.

longer possesses, the Great Book of Lecan and the Book of 
Ballymote. Ussher quotes them frequently in his Antiquitates as 
Liber Sliguntinus and Liber Balimotensis, and they probably came 
to us with the rest of his books. At all events, they are mentioned 
in the two earliest Catalogues. According to Bishop Nicolson, 
" Irish Historical Library," p. 39, the Book of Lecan was carried 
to Paris during the troubles of James IPs reign. It is noted on 
the flyleaf of Catal. 2 as " missing in 1702." It was never recovered 
by the College, but was restored to Ireland in 1787, and is now 
housed in the Royal Irish Academy. The circumstances under 
which we lost the Book of Ballymote are obscure. It seems 
to have been lent to Dr. Anthony Raymond about 1720, and 
to have remained for some time in his keeping. We have in one of 
our manuscripts, no. 1361, a list of the contents of the Book of 
Ballymote, made by Tadhg O'Neachtain, and dated 1726. 
Another volume written by the same scribe, no. 1289, contains 
long extracts, apparently copied direct from the Book of Ballymote ; 
these, however, cannot be accurately dated, as O'Neachtain 
worked at this volume for at least sixteen years (1729-1745), 
probably more. No. 1295, which is a copy of the greater part 
of Ballymote, by Tipper, bears date 1728. It is possible that 
while Tipper and O'Neachtain were at work the Book was still in 
Raymond's hands. Vallancey says that it was stolen by Raymond's 
servant. However this may be, the Book appears in a list of 
"manuscripts wanting in 1742," which is written, on a flyleaf of 
Catal. 2. What is known of its later fortunes will be found in 
O'Curry's unpublished Academy Catalogue, or, more briefly, in 
Atkinson's introduction to the facsimile. 

Another volume which cannot now be traced is thus described 
in the Catalogue of 1688 (under : ' Nomina " = Bernard, no. 601) : 
" Nomina Regum quorundam Conatiae. Opus quoddam de jure. 
Opera Galeni et Hippocratis de Chirurgia. Hibernice, fol. membr." 
The earliest Catalogue has the same entry, except that it omits 
the clause " Opus quoddam de jure." This description, as it 
stands, does not correspond to any ms. described by Lyon, nor to 
any that is now in the Library. Either the volume has been lost, 
or it has been broken up, and its parts may still exist among those

vellums whose provenance is uncertain. It is possible, for example, 
that the treatise on law which it contained may be identical with 
the first and second parts of no. 1433 : for it is only the last part 
of that ms. (copy of Leabhar Gdbhdla ) that can be recognized with 
certainty in the two earliest Catalogues. 

Those Catalogues also mention a copy of Keating's History, 
which seems to have disappeared (see table on p. ix). It is entered 
on the flyleaf of the 1688 Catalogue, among a list of mss. that 
were missing in 1702. The same Catalogue has a series of entries 
in a late hand, among which is " B. 64, a Book in Irish, which 
seems to be antiquities." This may, perhaps, be the missing 
Keating : and it is further possible that both these entries are to 
be identified with no. 1439, which appears in Lyon's Catalogue as 
F. 3. 21. This is, however, not likely, as all the contents of Press F 
are assumed to have come from Bishop Stearne in 1741. 

There remains a case which is perhaps one of confusion, not 
of loss. Our no. 1335, one of the Sebright mss., is by O'Reilly 
classed H 52, and his description leaves no doubt of its identity. 
But in Barrett's list H. 52 is thus described: " A Miscellany of 
Poems and extracts from the Book of Ballymote, 4 ," and it is not 
marked as a Sebright MS. Clearly this is not our 1335, nor can 
that Ms. be elsewhere recognized among Barrett's descriptions. 
Further, in the flyleaves of Lyon's Catalogue there is a list of mss. 
lent to various persons, and here occurs this entry: "Reed, this 
20 Feb., 1808, an Irish ms., no. 3, marked H. 37, a miscellany 
containing some Irish poems and some abstracts from the Book of 
Ballymote, for which I promise to be accountable. M. K. Leyden." 
To this is appended: " Oct. 19, 1812. Found this MS. J. Barrett." 
This is evidently the same volume as H. 52 of Barrett's list. But 
H. 37 in Barrett's own list, and in O'Reilly, is Plunkett's 
Dictionary. Where, then, is the manuscript which Barrett at 
one time calls H. 37 and at another H. 52? I have not found 
a solution of this question. 

Dr. Abbott's general Catalogue of MSS. in Trinity College was 
published in 1900. In compiling this he relied, where the Irish 
manuscripts were concerned, principally on O'Donovan's Catalogue, 



PREFACE. xix 



so far as it went; unfortunately it breaks off abruptly near the 
beginning of H. 3.18, and for the rest of the collection he had no 
better assistance than is afforded by O'Reilly's descriptions, which 
are usually superficial and frequently incorrect. Besides, the scale 
on which the whole volume was planned made it impossible to give 
as full an account of the Irish mss. as Dr. Abbott felt to be 
desirable. Accordingly he determined to attempt a fresh Catalogue 
specially devoted to these manuscripts, and this undertaking 
occupied the last years of his long life. He died in December, 1913, 
at the age of eighty-four, leaving his task half finished. When I was 
asked in 191 5 to complete the work, I found that the first 176 pages 
had been printed off and the type broken up : this section of the 
volume is therefore published as Dr. Abbott left it. The rest of his 
work was in various stages of preparation : some sheets were pretty 
far advanced, others were merely reprints of the 1900 volume. I 
have done my best to carry out Dr. Abbott's design on the general 
lines which he had adopted. I have compiled the two indices, 
recollated the first 176 pages with the mss., and recorded in the 
Supplement such additions and corrections as I could supply. 
I have not, however, thought it necessary to revise the descriptions 
of the Book of Leinster or of our copy of the Book of Ballymote, as 
their contents are fully dealt with in Atkinson's facsimile editions. 
The case of the Yellow Book of Lecan is different : the facsimile 
being unhappily very deficient, it seemed desirable to print any 
additional information that would throw light on the history and 
contents of this important volume. I should have liked to draw 
more fully on the abundant marginalia of H. 3 . 17 and H. 3.18, 
but considerations of economy made it necessary to study brevity. 
I have, however, tried to notice all entries which helped to identify 
the scribes or determine the dates of the mss. In some few cases 
it has been necessary to rearrange the contents of a volume (e.g. 
H. 4 . 22), and this has occasionally falsified the cross-references in 
Dr. Abbott's pages, but such discrepancies can almost always be 
corrected by consulting the indices. It seemed useless to attempt 
to index thoroughly the tracts on law and medicine, as the account 
given of these was inevitably unsatisfactory, since almost every- 
thing has still to be done in these fields of study. 



PREFACE. 



It remains to acknowledge gratefully the help in various matters 
that has been freely given to Dr. Abbott and to me by Mr. R. Flower, 
Mr. R. I. Best, Professor O. J. Bergin, the Reverend C Plummer, 
Professor H. J. Lawlor, Professor T. F. O'Rahilly, Mr. H. Wood 
(of the Public Record Office), Dr. T. P. C. Kirkpatrick, and Mrs. 
A. B. Hamilton. To our Librarian, Dr. J. G. Smyly, and to our 
Assistant Librarian, Mr. A. De Burgh, I am deeply obliged for 
their constant helpfulness and patience. 

The long delay in the publication of this volume has been due 
partly to my enforced absences from Dublin, partly to the pressure 
of other College duties. 

I add a few corrections : 

No. 60 : the classing should be A. 1. 15, not A. 4 . 20. 

No. 1089 : this number should be deleted. 

No. 1293: for ' Bradley ' read ' Badley.' 

No. 1363, p. 88*: for cucab read \i\icaX>. 

No. 1415, p. 26 : for ' Geoffrey ' read ' Godfrey.' 

No. 1433, p. 19 : the date should probably be read 1-541, or 
perhaps 1542. 

Suppl., no. 1336, marginalia, pp. 527-8: delete the note on 
Ara Cothraige, and see Index, s.v.

O'Donovan states that this story is still told in the valley 
of Glenconceine, Co. Deny, where some of the places 
mentioned (including the site of King Arthur's Castle) are 
pointed out. Hence he conjectured that the author was an 
O'Kelly, the bard of the district. It preserves many now 
antiquated idioms and expressions. Several MSS. of this 
and the following are enumerated by M. D'Arbois de 
Jubainville. For the ancient version, see No. 13 18, 749.

I.— Annals, a.d. 320-1320. Written in the year 
1765 by John.O'Conry (or O'Mulconry), ff. 65, 
erroneously entitled ' Annals of Innisfallen,' 
but see below. There is a copy from this MS. 
in the B. M. Egerton, 98, 99. 

The subscription is : — Sgpiobca le Seagan 6 Connaipe

aldrhaib Chachail ui Concubaip, a.d. 1775 (i.e. Dr. Chas. 
O'Conor). 

Inserted is a letter from Dr. John O'Donovan, in which 
he says : ' It appears from a letter (prefixed to the copy in 
the Royal Irish Academy) in the handwriting of Theophilus 
O'Flanagan, [who states that Dr. O'Brien made the 
Bodleian copy of the Annals the basis of his compilation] 
that the Dublin copy . . . was manufactured by the Rt. Rev. 
John O'Brien, sometime R. C. Bishop of Cloyne.' It turns 
out, says O'Donovan, to be nothing more than a collection 
of entries from all sources, good, bad, and indifferent, such 
as from Giraldus Cambrensis' Hibernia Expugnata, from 
Hanmer's Chronicle, from the Caithreim Thoirdhealbhatgk, 
and from every other authority, English and Irish, accessible 
to the compilers. If published, he says, it ought to be 
entitled, ' Annals of Ireland, compiled in France from 
various authorities, Irish and English, in the year 1765, by 
Mr. John Conry and Dr. John O'Brien.' O'Donovan adds, 
however, that they ' had some Munster Annals which 
we have not, and from them they have extracted various 
passages relating to Desmond not to be found in any other 
compilation that I know of. The chronology is through- 
out corrected from Ware, Camden, and Hanmer, by 
Dr. O'Brien. Dr. Chas. O'Conor has added in the margin 
several marks and corrections.' 

II.— f. 84. Chronicle of the Kings and Battles of the

Annales Ultonienses, a.d. 431—1504, in the hand- 
writing of Rory O'Luinin (see f. 104^2). Copied, 
according to O'Conor, from the Bodleian MS. 
Rawlinson, 459. 

These Annals were compiled by Cathal 
Mac Manus, who d. 1498, and continued to 1541 
by Roderick Cassidy, Archdeacon of Clogher. 
See O'Conor's Bibliotheca MS. Stowensis, vol. i., 
p. 174. The present copy ends imperfect at the 
year 1504. There are also wanting the leaves 
containing the years 1 102-1 108, 1 1 15— 1 162, and 
!374— !378. The first folio is numbered 12. 

Edited by W. M. Hennessy in the Master of the Rolls' 
Series, 1901. The Introduction by Rev. Dr. B. Mac Carthy 
in vol. iv. O'Conor's edition (to 1131) in the fourth vol. 
of Rer. Hib. Scriptores is pronounced by Dr. Mac Carthy 
to be worthless. 

ff. 12-15 contain a fragment of the 'Annals of Tigher- 
nach.' On this fragment, see Dr. Todd's letter in O'Curry's 
' MS. Materials,' p. 517, and O'Curry's own remarks. Also 
R. C. xvin. 374. O'Donovan notes that the Four Masters 
(MS. in R.I.A.) state that they had a copy of these Annals 
before them, but he says that they have not always copied 
them at full length, and he even suspects their accuracy 
giving an example. The Annals of Tighernach have been 
edited by W. Stokes (1897).

1283 fol. membr., s. xvii. h. i. 9. 

A Medical Treatise (imperfect), ff. 38 (lettered on the 
back ' Guido de Chauliac ' ). 

This is a fragment of the treatise in No. 1435 (e. 3. 30) 
and (imperfect) No. 1436 (e. 4. 1, p. 129 sqq.), beginning 
' cum humane vite brevitas teste Hippocrate vix sufficiat 
ad immense artis longitudinem.' The present fragment 
begins with p. 19, 1. 3 of H35> and ends with 120, col. 2, 
but with defects. It treats of apostemata, eruptive disorders, 
wounds, etc. Avicenna, Allifius, Serapion, Dioscorides, and 
others are quoted. On p. 27 Guido is quoted. 

At the foot of p. 12, col. 2, is a definition of cancer: 
' Cancer est apostemamelingcolicum,' No. 1435, p. 37, col. 2, 
1. 10. After this about six fF. are wanting, p. 13 beginning 
'l gac rjile cinel,' No. 1435, p. 43, col. 2, 1. 7, shortly after 
the beginning of the section ; ' Simplicia mundificativa 
sunt ista.' O'Donovan, being of course unaware of this 
defect, states that 'the causes, symptoms, and treatment 
of cancer are fully discussed.' ' Cancer,' by the way, had a 
much wider signification than it has now. One-half of the 
fol. 13, 14 has been cut away. 

There are two additional, much mutilated folios at the 
end of the volume, separated from the rest by a blank leaf. 
On the second of these is : ' licit [sic'] avicenna mencionem 
non facit de apostema [te] aquoso utile est nobis de 
apostemate hie aliquam facere mencionem.' 

1284 fol. chart., s.xviii. h. 1. 10. 

Tales, Poems, etc., ff. 182, written in 1742 by Hugh 
O'Daly : 

fol. 1. A romantic tale entitled eaccyia ConnaiH 
gulbain, 'The Adventures of Connall Gulban ' (son of 
Niall of the Nine Hostages, and ancestor of the O'Donnells), 
beg.: 'Rfg uaral oinnibe pfogoa jiacrhairi neim bipedc' 
O'Donovan thought the tale was composed in the fifteenth 
century. The style, he says, is verbose, and the narrative 
childishly marvellous : cf. B.M. Catal., p. 633 (Add. 18,951)- 

f. 46. ' The Adventures of Richard and Lisarda.' This 
and the two following tales are translated from a Spanish 
work entitled ' Para Todos : Exemplos Morales, Humanos 
y Divinos,' by Juan Perez de Montalvan. Sec. ed., Sevilla,

life of Columcille. Taaffe's book is not in this Library, nor 
does it appear in the British Museum Catalogue. Some of 
the prophecies were also published by O'Kearney in 1856. 
O'Donovan gives a curious account of the popular belief as 
to Columcille's book of prophecy supposed to be preserved 
at Armagh and Derry, but concealed from public inspection. 
That at Derry was in a chest which 'no man born of 
woman ' was entitled to open. Hervey, Earl of Bristol and 
Bishop of Derry, not being ' born of woman,' was said to 
have opened it and found the MS. There is now no know- 
ledge of any such book either at Armagh {teste Dr. Morgan) 
or at Derry {teste Bp. Chadwick), nor any knowledge of the 
tradition.

Leabhar Gabhala or Book of Invasions (or Colo- 
nizations) compiled in 163 1 in the Franciscan 
Convent of Lisgoole, Co. Fermanagh). 

The dedication to Brian Maguire, first Baron of Ennis- 
killen, begins thus : ' I, the friar Michael O'Clery, have, by 
permission of my superiors, undertaken to purge of error, 
rectify, and transcribe this old chronicle called Leabhar 
Gabhdla. . . . This I could not accomplish without the 
assistance of other chroniclers at some fixed abode.' 

In the Bibliotheca MS. Stowensis, vol. i., p. 2, Dr. O'Conor 
describes a twelfth-century vellum MS. of the original Leabhar 
Gabhaltas, which formed the basis of this work, and, on 
p. 143, he remarks that O'Clery's book differs very little 
from this ancient copy. 

The work has been translated (?) into French by Henri 
Lizeray and William O'Dwyer. Paris, 1884. Some portions 
have been translated into English, viz. the Preface, by 
O'Curry in his Lectures on the MS. Materials of Irish

resumed on 43^, line 14, ending on 45a, 1. 9. For both 
Tales, see No. 1318 (YBL), cols. 123, 716, and 876. The 
present copy is transcribed from Eg. 1782. See Stokes' 
ed. of ' Togci.il Bruidne Da Derga': Paris, 1902 (reprint 
from Rev. Celt.). 

f. 54. The Amhra or Eulogy of Columcille, reputed to 
have been written by Dalian mac Forgaill (fl. 580), with 
gloss. Professor Strachan, for good reasons, assigns it to 



1288] TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. 45 



perhaps the early part of the ninth century, adding that it 
is written in an artificial and intentionally obscure style 
(R.C. xvii. 41). Stokes agrees {{bid. xx. 30). See No. 1318 
(YBL), p. 680, and Liber Hymnorum, No. 1441 (edited by 
Bernard and Atkinson). The present copy is from Eg. 1782. 
The Introduction and glosses are much longer than those 
in the L. H. It is, however, imperfect, ending with 479 of 
L. H. The Amhra has been edited by Stokes from the 
recension in Rawl. 502. See a facsimile of this in 
" Anecdota Oxoniensia," edited by Prof. K. Meyer. The 
Amhra was edited first by O'Beirne Crowe. 

f. 81 begins the Leabhar Branach, or Book of the 
O'Byrnes, of Glenmalur, consisting of poems chiefly in 
praise of Hugh mac Shane O'Byrne {d. 1579): ' The war- 
like opponent and plunderer of his English and Irish 
neighbours.' See 'Four Masters,' a.d. 1579. There are 
copies of some of these in B. M. Eg. 176, written by 
O'Gorman, from which copious excerpts are given, with 
illustrative notes in Mr. O'Grady's Catalogue, pp. 498 sqq. 
An edition is in preparation for the Irish Texts Society, 
from a better copy in the Harvaid University Library, of 
which a photographic copy has been presented to this 
Library by Prof. F. N. Robinson, of Harvard.

'The Psalter of Tara, transcribed by Tadhg 
O'Neachtan, which contains the Book of 



1289] TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. 5 , 

Invasions, the Book of the Eoganachts . . . .' 
Much of this is from the Book of Ballymote. 

The title ' Psalter of Tara' is, as O'Donovan observes, a 
fictitious one, as writers are mentioned who flourished 600 
years after the desertion of Tara. 

The first 12 pp. not numbered contain a very minute 
table of the contents. 

pp. 1-2 1 contain a prose account of the six ages of the 
world taken from Holy Scripture and the Fathers. BB. 3a. 
See Zimmer, " Nennius Vindicatus," p. 225. 

p. 13, 1. 32, begins a poem by Dublitir O'Huathghaile : 
Rei&ig oarh . . . = BB. 17/83 (see other copies, No. 1284, 
f. 153^, and Index). 

O'Reilly, ' Writers,' p. lxxix., under date a.d. 1065, says: 
" At this period flourished Donnchuach O'Fuathgaile, a 
cleric, who wrote a poem giving an account of Adam and 
Eve, of Noah and his sons, and of the tribes or nations 
sprung from them." Donnchuach is a corruption or mis- 
understanding of a place-name (don chuaich maig = "from 
the cuckoo's plain"). See Meyer, " Anecdota Oxoniensia," 
Rawl B. 502, p. 10, note. 

p. 2i, 1. 24. A prose account of the contents of Flann's 
poem on synchronisms of Irish kings with those of Assyria, 
Persia, etc. Flann of the monastery of Bute, Professor of 
Divinity, died a.d. 1056. BB. na. 

p. 27. A metrical enumeration of the principal eras. 
BB. 13, p. 24.

Irish : Cpe gone cpann, cpe cpann cu, with other numerical 
memoranda. BB. 14a. 

p. 28. Poem of 248 lines by Maelmura Othna, beginning : 
Canam bunaoap na ngaeoil. Published in the Irish 
version of Nennius by the Irish Archseol. Soc, p. 220. 

p. 29 The Leabhar Gabhala or Book of Invasions. A 
more ancient form, and more copious than that which was 
revised by Michael O'Clery (No. 1286), but agreeing word 
for word with the copy in the Book of Ballymote, from 
which it was probably copied (BB. 130 ft".), except that 
where the gap occurs in the latter between 44 and 45 
the matter is supplied from another copy. Includes : 

p. 88. A poem on Tara, published byPetrie in his Memoir 
on Tara Hill, Trans. R.I. A., vol. xviii., p. 1F0, and in the 
Metrical Dindsenchas, part 1.

from the Book of Lismore and other MSS. (with translation),

§ 78, with a few others. The prose narrative is, however, 
more condensed. It begins : Jabap Cellacan Caipil aip

Irish-English Dictionary by Tadhg O'Neachtan. 

At the end is. a list of Irish and English names of plants 
and trees. O'Donovan says : ' It contains a vast number 
of words, and is very valuable as being the production of 
a very able Irish scholar, who was born in 1671, and lived 
during a period in which the ancient Irish language was 
perfectly understood ; but it is very defective as a Dictionary* 
inasmuch as it very seldom gives any examples to elucidate 
the English interpretations of the various ancient words. 
Notwithstanding this defect, it is a work of great authority, 
and the meanings given of Irish words may be relied upon 
as far as they go. O'Reilly copied the greater part of this 
work into his Dictionary, but he does not tell us what 
words he took from it.' O'Reilly, however, has many words 
which are not in this book.

This is a satire on six of the O' Haras who forcibly took 
refreshments in his house. In consequence of this satire 
they returned and cut out his tongue, and otherwise so 
maltreated him that he died. They seem also to have 
murdered his wife and child. 'On the 30th June, 1617, an 
Inquisition was held in Sligo by which it was found that the 
six O'Haras (named) were attainted of the murder of Teige

written by John Magrath, principal historian of the nobles 
of Dal Cais in the year 1459. Transcribed by Andrew 
Mac Curtin. There is a translation of this work in the 
British Museum, Add. 20, 718, and Eg. 102. The former 
MS. is, as far as the writing goes, the joint production of 
Theophilus O'Flanagan and Peter O'Connell, but the 
version is ' in many places so rude as to be unintelligible to 
the mere English reader.' It is also inaccurate according 
to O'Curry. The translation itself therefore cannot be 
O'Connell's. There is a copy of this translation in the 
library of the Royal Irish Academy, where there is also a 
copy of the original Irish. O'Donovan states that the 
original vellum MS. was in the possession of Sir W. Betham. 
See No. 1294.

1293 11" x 8", membr., s. xvi. h. i. 19. 

The Annals of Kilronan, or of Loch Ce, a.d. 1014 to 
1571- 

There are 99 leaves of vellum and 36 of paper, many of 
the latter blank. This book was formerly lettered on the 
back, ' Tigernachi continuatio ' ; but O'Donovan claims to 
have shown that it is the Book of the O'Duigenans of 
Kilronan. O'Curry identifies it with the Annals of Loch 
C& (MS. Materials of Irish History, p. 94 sqq.). The chief 
transcriber was Philip Bradley, and the date of his tran- 
scription 1588. There is a memorandum by David Duigenan 
that the book contained three leaves and five score of 
vellum. It has therefore lost four vellum leaves since this 
was written. 

The defects in the vellum are from the year 1138 to 1170. 
Here six leaves of paper are inserted, but they are blank. 
Again there is a defect from 13 16 to 1462. Here 22 paper 
leaves are inserted, the first six of which are blank. The 
entries on the remaining leaves are very scanty, and are 
repeated twice. After 1462 the writing is in different 
hands. There are also four paper leaves inserted after the 
first folio, on one of which the contents of the first page 
have been copied by John Mac Namee, 1698, that page 
having even then been almost illegible. On another of 
these leaves another copy of the same is written by Eugene 
O'Curry, 1842. At the year 1256 is the story of the Battle 
of Magh Slecht. Pub. by O'Curry, 'Materials,' p. 536: 
Trans, at p. 101,. 

The last page in the volume is wholly illegible. 

In addition to the paper leaves enumerated above there 
are four after the year 1061, but there is no chasm in 
the original. 

O'Curry discovered the continuation of these Annals to 
the year 1590 in the British Museum, Clar. xlv. 4792, and 
his copy of this is inserted in the present volume. 

The work was edited by W. M. Hennessy in the Master 
of the Rolls' series in 1871.

The Book of Ballymote (incomplete copy). 

The original vellum Book of Ballymote, written about

now in the library of the Royal Irish Academy, to which it 
was presented by the Chev. O'Gorman in 1785. The text 
has been published in facsimile by the Academy under the 
editorship of Dr. Robert Atkinson. 

The present copy was made in 1728 by Richard Tipper, 
of Mitchellstown, in the parish of Castleknock, of whom 
O'Reilly says, in his account of the contents of this MS., 
that 'to the industry of Tipper the Irish scholar and anti- 
quarian is indebted for many copies of valuable antient 
MSS., which he made from originals that are either not 
extant or are locked up in libraries from the public'

000615 (10D615, MS.)- According to O'Donovan he is still 
vividly remembered in the country of his birth (parish of 
Templeport, Cavan). This Life does not materially differ 
from that published by Colgan, but is more copious. The 
body of the narrative is prose, but several poems and 
extracts from poems are introduced, some of which are 
attributed to the saint himself, but are clearly later. The 
most remarkable are : — 

p. 10. Sgeal oile aip Goo oaipioe. Here the saint is 
called Aodh, Mo (= my) being often prefixed to the names 
of saints, and the names of ancient ecclesiastics were 
always thus changed upon entering holy orders. The 
diminutive og was added for the sake of affection, and thus 
Mo-Aodh-og became Maodhog = Mogue. This name, says 
O'Donovan, was very common in Ferns about fifty years 
before his writing as a Christian name, but it is now 
modified to Moses. In Mr. Registrar-General Matheson's 
report on ' Varieties and Synonyms of Surnames and 
Christian Names in Ireland (Dublin, 1901),' Moses and 
Mogue are stated to be used as equivalents (p. 29).

p. 66. Poem of 76 lines by Giolla Modhuda, beginning : 
Leacbonn a ccig 50c pdcaig. This recounts the dues 
paid to the successors of St. Mogue. 

p. 69. Poem of 4 pp. on the life of St. Mogue, beginning: 
Seancap fflao&6i5 meabpaig leac. 

p. 74. Poem of 116 lines, beginning: corhpuinn 171aoo6i5

Ulster, and Connaught were divided among his coarbs in 
the churches of Ferns, Drumlane (Co. Cavan), and Rossinver 
(Co." Leitrim). 

p. 77. Poem of 108 lines by Giolla Modhuda O'Cassidy 
on the judgments or curses left by St. Mogue on any of the 
Breifnians who should violate his churches, encroach on his 
lands, or dishonour his coarbs. Beginning : eibepbpeaca 
Thao&oig rhfn. 

p. 85. Poem of 208 lines, beginning : Oinn an riomna 
luaicep linn. In this is given the Will of the saint, in 
which he disposes of the relics referred to above (p. 62).

III.— A romantic tale entitled : ' Bruighean Chaorthuinn,' com- 
posed about the fifteenth century. 20 pp. Mr. O'Grady 
remarks ('Silva Gadelica,' Pref., p. xvi) that Bruidheaii 
means primarily a mansion for hospitality on a large scale, 
but in the title of a story the term indicates that it is one of 
violence connected with a dwelling. The full form is 
Toghai! bruidhne. 

IV.— Another tale entitled : ' Eachtra an Ghiolla Deacair,' 
Adventure of the lazy fellow ( 24* pp.), describing a chase 
by Finn mac Cumhaill and his militia through Drom- 
collcoille (near Dublin): ed. O'Gradv, 'Silva Gadelica.'

Connaught, entitled: bpuigean ceipe Copmnn. 8pp.:

detained by magic in the caves of Ceish Corran (caves well 
known to travellers). See No. 1376, p. 205. 

f. 5. Poem written by an Irish priest in Spain (see ZCP. 
v. 541), bidding farewell to Ireland, i£ pp. : beip beann- 
acc uaim piap cap haip. This is followed by a ludicrous 
account of the clan of Thomas Mac Lobuis by Robert 
Nugent, 4 pp. By the clan of Mac Lobuis are here meant 
the English, plebeians who obtained possessions in the 
time of Cromwell. It is entitled : Cpopanacc aip clainn 
Comaip, and includes a metrical composition, beginning : 
Ceipc 0:5am ope a Semuip, and another beginning: Nf 
oual peimeleip ag pfol I6baip. See No. 1381, p. 261, 
iv. and v. 
VI. — Historical tale (an episode of Tain B6 Cuailnge) entitled, 
Tragical fate of Ferdiadh, son of Daman, killed in single 
combat by Cuchullin at Ardee : hence so named (Ath- 
Fhirdiadh). 

f. io (numbered 9, 6 being repeated). Poem on the 
Atonement, beginning - O peacaiS an tjfp op pfola& 
accdinic apfarh. Then follows a short religious poem by 
Bonaventura O'Hosey, beginning: Cpiup and [05] bpan 
ap mo bap. This is in a different and inferior hand, and 
clearly has been inserted merely to fill blank space. Publ. 
in the 'Pious Miscellany' of Tadg Gaolach {i.e. Timothy 
O'Sullivan), Dub. 1868, and there ascribed to Donnchad 
M6r O'Daly (p. 96). Also by Dr. Hyde : ' Religious Songs 
of Connacht.' 

After f. 28 is slipped in a leaflet containing verses 
addressed ' by Thady Naghtan to Mr. Francis Sullivan.'

VIII.— Romantic tale entitled, Gaccpa TJiOipe na leorhan. 
Adventures of the knight of the lions. The hero is a 
French knight. Perhaps a translation from the French or

Spanish. There is a copy of this tale in R.I. A., 24 P. 16, 
103-166. (In 24 A. 1, p. ( seg., and 24 P. 2, p. 1 seq., there 
is a different tale with the same title.) 134 pp.; ending 
imperfect. 
IX.— Another romance, entitled 6accpa an amabdin moip. 
Adventures of the great Oaf. Several of King Arthur's 
knights are introduced, and the wonderful effects of magic 
produced by Gruagacha or necromancy are told in the 
style of the adventures of the knights errant. O'Donovan 
suggested that it might be a translation from the Welsh. 
It is quite different from the poem so named. This version 
also in R.I. A., 24P. 16, 49-97. 38 pp.: ending imperfect.

O'Donovan, to be a fragment of the Book of Hy-Many 
(Leabbar Hy-Maine), described by O'Reilly in his " Irish 
Writers," p. cxxi. A large vellum MS. known as "The 
Book of Hy-Many," is now in the R. I. A. (Stowe collection). 
The MS. described by O'Reilly was then in the possession 
of SirW. Betham, from whom it was subsequently purchased 
by Sir Thomas Phillipps. The next folio (formerly the 
outside one of a volume) has no writing on the recto. 
That and the following folio (both much injured by damp) 
contain the concluding part of a romantic tale. 

p. 244. (as numbered, but really p. 143, most of the 
preceding numbers being of columns). A historical tale 
entitled : Oige Cuinn cebcacmg. Death of Conn of the 
Hundred Battles. (This is the only MS. of this tale 
mentioned by D'Arbois de Jubainville.)

p. 248. A romantic tale, entitled : Oige TTluipceapcaig

530 (cf. O'D. : "Four Masters," i. 174), said lo be given 
as told by the saints Cairneach, Mocteus, and Ciaran : ' We 
learn from it that St. Cairneach cursed the royal house 
of Cletty on the Boyne, and excommunicated king Muir- 
chertach by ringing his bells and by other ceremonies, and 
that he also condemned the hill of Cletty to perpetual 
sterility. This the saint did at the request of Muirchertach's 
queen.' See Y.B.L., 310-320. The oldest mention of 
Muirchertach's death is the poem in LL. (No. 1339), p. 31. 
Edited by Stokes in Rev. Celt, xxiii 395.

Annals of the Four Masters, Part I. (from a.m. 2242 
to a.d. 1 171), 2 vols., 4to. 

The ' Four Masters ' were Michael, Conary, and Cucogry 
(or Peregrine) O'CIery, and Ferfeasa (or Fergus) O'Mulconry. 
The designation ' Four Masters ' was given to them by 
Colgan in the Preface to his ' Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae,' 
and was, perhaps, suggested to him by the fact that 
' Quatuor Magistri ' had been long previously applied by 
the medical writers of the middle ages to the Four Masters 
of the medical sciences (O'Donovan). Previously to Colgan 
the work had been called ' Annates Dungallenses,' having 
been compiled in the convent of Donegal, a Franciscan 
foundation, The work was undertaken under the patronage 
and for the use of Fergal O'Gara, Lord of Moy O'Gara 
and Coolavin, Co. Sligo, the original dedication to whom, 
in the handwriting of Michael O'CIery, is in the copy in 
the Royal Irish Academy. It was begun 22nd January, 
1632, and finished 10th August, 1636. In the same copy is 
the original testimonium signed by the superiors of the 
convent, in which are enumerated the works collected and 
used by the compilers, which were, the Annals of Clon- 
macnoise, Annals of Oilean na Naomh, an island in Lough 
Ree [these two only came down to 1227], Annals of Senat 
Mac Magnus on the lake of Erne (now called the Ulster 
Annals), Annals of the O'Maolconarys, Annals of Kilronan, 
compiled by the O'Duigenans, also the Annals of Lecan, 
compiled by Mac Firbis. For the later parts of the work 
are mentioned also the Book of Cucogry O'CIery (1281 to 
1537), the Book of Maolin Og Mac Bruaideada (1588 to 
1603), the Book of Lugaid O'CIery (1586 to 1602). 

These two volumes were transcribed by Hugh O'Molloy, 
from the autograph in the possession of Chas. O'Conor of 
Belanagare for Dr. John O'Fergus, in the year 1734-5. 
They are paged continuously, vol. i. ending with p. 536; 
vol. ii. containing pp. 537 to 1023. Prefixed to the first 
volume are copies of the dedication and the testimonia.

Annals of the Four Masters, Part II. (1335 to 1608). 

This is an original copy, that is to say, it is for the most 
part in the handwriting of Conary O'CIery, the hands of 



1301, 1302] TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. 83 



the other two O'Clerys, however, appearing frequently 
throughout the volume (O'Donovan, Introductory Remarks, 
p. xviii). 

There is a considerable quantity of inserted matter in the 
handwriting of Roderick O'Flaherty, author of ' Ogygia,' 
to whom the Annals were lent and explained by his tutor, 
Duald Mac Firbis, the last of the hereditary antiquaries of 
Lecan. ' His insertions are very valuable, for two reasons, 
because the work from which he took them is no longer 
extant, and because we have his authority for the meaning 
of many now obsolete terms.' We next find the volume in 
its present imperfect state in the possession of John Conry, 
of Dublin, in 1724 (see Abp. Nicholson's account of Conry's 
MSS. in his Irish Historical Library). After Conry it came 
into the possession of Dr. John Fergus, or O'Fergus, of 
Dublin, who had it bound in 1739. 

The first fol. is numbered 687, the last 11 50, but there 
is some irregularity in the numbering. 

The Royal Irish Academy possesses what is apparently 
the original autograph of the entire work, ' being the very 
copy which passed from the representatives of the O'Gara 
family into the hands of Chas. O'Conor.' It was presented 
to that body in 1831 by Dr. Geo. Petrie, who had bought 
it at the sale of Col. Burton Conyngham's library. 

No doubt, as O'Donovan observes, each of the Four 
Masters made a copy, of which he afterwards disposed, 
and he adds, that " it will yet be discovered that there is 
another copy at Louvain, which O'Clery made for the use 
of Colgan, who first sent him to Ireland to collect materials 
for his ' Acta Sanctorum.' " 

The text of the Annals was first published complete by 
Dr. John O'Donovan, who added an English translation and 
a large body of learned annotations. 7 vols., 4to ; Dublin, 
1851. See No. 1405, for a copy of a MS. in the R. I. A.

Discourse on the Ten Commandments. 

This is the same as the Homily in the Leabhar Breac. 
p. 243a, published by Prof. Atkinson, in the " Passions 
and Homilies," p. 245, but with differences of reading. 
Thus it begins : " Legtar . . . co tainic duine occ do indsaidi 
in tigherna nemda." In the last line of the Introduction 
it omits "masse*/," and, for " ol Dia fessin," reads "ar

sixth commandments (sixth and seventh) are transposed. 
At the end the quotation from Ezekiel is omitted.

Amongst the duties are, not to remain one year without 
giving battle or taking a spoil, and to make Lagenians pay 
him the Borumean tribute. O'Donovan thinks the O'Neill 
addressed was the celebrated Hugh, who lived in the reign 
of Elizabeth. O'Curry assigns him the date a.d. 798, and 
says the poet was Fothaidh na Canoine, and that the poem

This includes much about the varieties of birds, beasts, and 
fishes. The contents of the chapters are given in a com- 
paratively modern hand^on p. 189. O'Donovan thinks the 
treatise is a translation of or commentary on a work by the 
physician Isaac.

linear gloss. At the top of p.'n Edw. Lhwyd has written 
his name and the words ' Liber 2" s constat fol. 28.'- 

The Seanchus Mor is said to have been compiled by 
three Kings, three Brehons, and three Bishops in the time 
of St. Patrick, who was one of the three bishops. The 
heading in this MS. is in a modern hand, which O'Donovan 
thought to be that of Duald Mac Firbis. There are three 
distinct fragments, in all, 26 ff, 14" x 10". The tract, 
PP- 39-4 2 > has been separated by the binder from its con-

Cormac's Glossary was edited by Dr. Whitley Stokes, 
"Three Irish Glossaries," London, 1862. He calls this 
copy Codex C. Again, transl. by O'Donovan, ed. Stokes. 
Calcutta, 1868. On the verso of the last folio is a letter 
from Dongalach O'Riardan to O'Kennedy, on behalf of a 
poor man to whom, it would seem, O'Kennedy had refused 
to pay his wages. 

p. 39(116). Ouil laifcne. 1 fol. A glossary of the artificial 
language called Ogham. See Stokes, ' Goidelica,' 2nd ed., 
p. 72, and Thurneysen, Rev. Celt., vii., p. 369. Also 
Prof. K. Meyer, Journal of the Gipsy Lore Society, Jan. 
1909, where a photographic facsimile is given. This is 
followed by a fragment of a glossary (1 fol.) extending 
only to the letter G. A transcript of this by O'Curry is- 
in No. 1338. 

p. 43(120). 8 ff. Another Irish Glossary on a larger 
scale, defective at the beginning. It wants all of A and 
B, and part of C. The part containing S, T, U is much 
injured and mutilated. Examples are given to establish 
the meaning of the words. This is O'Davoren's Glossary, 
written a.d. 1569, copied (according to O'Curry) by Duald 
Mac Firbis. Published from a vellum MS. in the British 
Museum by Dr. Whitley Stokes. 

p. 59 (135). ff. 9. A short anecdote of Adamnan, 8th 
Abbot of Iona (apparently of the 17th century). Publ. by 
Prof. K. Meyer, Zeits. v. 495. Followed by an imperfect 
copy of the so-called second Visio Adamnani, with Latin 
and English translations. For this Vision see Stokes, 
Rev. Celt, xii ; (from Leabhar Breac). 

p. 75 (iS3) f- '• Poem on the family of O'Dowd of 
Tireragh. Imperfect, and hardly legible. 

p. 77 (155). ff. 27. Another copy of Cormac's Glossary 
(edited by Dr. Whitley Stokes, Codex D). The handwriting 
is that of Duald Mac Firbis (O'Curry). There are correc- 
tions and insertions by a later hand. 

p. 102 id. a. I. (178). Fragment of an etymological tract, 
extending only to the letter C. It begins : Incipit discreptio 
[sic] de origine Scoticae linguae. There is a perfect copy of 
this tract in No. 1318. 

p. 105 (181). ff. 9. An imperfect copy of the ' Uraicept 

of Cennfaelad : see No. 1289. 

p. 131. ff. 11. Fragment of the Irish Law Glossary re- 
ferred to by Duald Mac Firbis in the preface to his (MS.) 
genealogical work as his ' Law Glossary,' and in his hand- 
writing. This fragment treats of the laws relating to poets. 
There is a transcript by O'Curry in 1338 and 1401. This

The Yellow Book of Lecan and Miscellanea. 

The title, Yellow Book of Lecan, properly belongs only 
to a portion of this book. See introduction to facsimile. 
The seal impression in wax on the second leaf is a shield 
with lion rampant, regardant, being the arms of Lloyd of 
Keyswin, Merioneth, and Meringdon, Salop. See Berry, 
Encyclopaedia Heraldica. For some bibliographical notes, 
see Prof. K. Meyer, Zeits., vol. i, p. 494. 

The numbering is by columns, of which there are some- 
times three in a page. The numbers in hrackets 
represent the pages of the facsimile. 

Col. 1, 2 (436, 437), and 125-128(434,435). Fragment 
of the Life of St. Fechin of Fore. Edited by Stokes, 
Rev. Celt. xii. 318. 

O'Donovan remarks that Ussher was in error when he 
stated in his Primordia that the Irish name of Fore was 
Baile Leabhar, ' Town of Books.' The local pronunciation 
of Baile Fhobhair, he says, sounds to an illiterate Irishman 
like Bail' leabhar. 

There is annexed a transcript by O'Curry. 

Col. 3-87 (255, 283). A good copy of Cormac's 
Glossary (see No. 1316, p. 91). This is the text called B

In fact cols. 281 to 310 (mid.) contain the history of the 
battle of Magh Rath, which was published by O'Donovan 
from this MS. (two years after he had written this part of 
his catalogue), for the Irish Archaeological Society (1842). 
He omits the four quatrains appended to the tale in the 
MS. Hence his remark that "in the MS. no notice is 
given that the story ends here"; since the quatrains pre- 
cede the pinic. Cols. 281, 282 are now almost wholly 
illegible. The first few verses are, however, plain enough.

It is " valuable for the light it throws on the superstitions 
of the ancient Irish before the Anglo-Norman invasion." 
Part of cols. 317, 318 is blank. From a memorandum of 
the scribe at the end it appears that it was written by 
Morogh O'Cuindilis, ' the second year after the coming of 
the king of the Saxons (Richard II.) to Ireland, who left 
it without coming to terms of peace.' He notes that there 
was a great plague on men and cattle in the same year.

chupaig TTIaelbuin, i.e. 'Of the navigation of the coracle 
of Muldoon.' See W. Stokes, Rev. Celt., ix., p. 447, and

Miscellanea. 

These two volumes, formerly one, are made up of various 
fragments, some quarto, some small folio, of various ages, 
and treating of different subjects. 

The first 82 pp., now separately bound as No. 1, are on 
paper, and contain a translation of some Latin work treating 
of the principal incidents in the Life of Christ, with pious 
meditations. The leaves are in disorder, the Finding in 
the Temple being on p. 77 ; the Descent into Hell, p. 61 ; 
the Resurrection, p. 60 ; the Ascension, p. 66 ; and the

Passion, p. 2. The headings of the sections are in Latin. 
On p. 22 are the " Canticum primi parentis," and " Canti- 
cum Noie pro se et generatione sua"; p. 51, "Canticum 
Abraham et Isac," and " Canticum Moysi Finies et 
Iosu"; p. 52, [Canticum] David pro se et generatione 
sua," and "Canticum Esdrae " ; p. 49, " [Canjticum 
Ionnes Baptistes"; p. 43, " Quomodo Ionnes misit disci- 
pulos." The beginning of this section agrees with 
No. 1 3 16, p. 95. On pp. 29 to 36 is inserted a fragment 
consisting of four leaves, and containing an account of 
the martyrdom of St. Catherine, continued on pp. 45, 46, 
and 81, 82. On p. 45 is a fragment of a religious poem. 

The second volume is vellum. 

The first fragment beginning with p. 83 consists of 
three and a half leaves of a medical work treating of 
apostemata, etc. (small folio). Half the first leaf has been 
cut off, and the first page (not numbered) is wholly illegible. 
It appears to be of the fifteenth century. 

p. 90. Fragment consisting of eleven leaves, small folio, 
of the same age as the last. Contains a curious account of 
the Bolgic and Tuatha D6 Danann colonies, and a very 
circumstantial account of the battle of Magh Tuiredh 
(Moytura), fought between these colonies near Cong, where 
many of the monuments here mentioned still remain. On 
p. 99, col. 2, line 16, the scribe has given his name, Cormac 
O'Cuimin. 

p. q9, col. 2, I.21. Account of the Passion of Christ, as 
revealed by the Blessed Virgin to St. Anselm : cf. No. 1363.

Mhuighe Muirtheimne, i.e. the great defeat of the plain 
of Muirthemne, in which Cuchullin was killed. An 
episode of the Tain B6 Cuailgne. For other fragments of 
this MS., see infra, p. 334. Pp. 111-114 should follow 
335! pp-i r 5 -II 8 should follow 349. See No. 1296, 303;

p. 119. Fragments consisting of twenty-seven leaves, 4to, 
treating of the early history of Greece, of Jason and the 
golden fleece, pp. 1 19-126 is the Voyage of the Ship Argo. 
p. 127 begins the Destruction of Troy. This consists of 
two fragments, circa 1400. The first corresponds with 
Dares Phrygius, ed. Meister, from end of cap. 2 to cap. n 
inch, and from cap. 14 to middle of cap. 19, but with much 
additional matter ; the second begins with the end of 
cap. 20 and continues to cap. 44. Ed., with trans., by 
Stokes, IrischeTexte, Ser. 2, Heft 1, Leipz. 1884. See also 
Book of Leinster, pp. 397 ff. This fragment is separately

bound in a cover consisting of leaves of vellum which 
contain some ancient writing. 

p. 172. Nine leaves belonging to the beginning of the 
great Book of Lecan. 

The great Book of Lecan was in this Library in 1688, 
when the first extant Catalogue of MSS. was compiled (the 
same Catalogue a copy of which was supplied to Bernard 
for his ' Catalogus '). At that time these nine leaves were 
wanting: see Bernard, No. 257. It seems to have been 
carried to France in the reign of James II, and in 1787, 
through the Abb6 Kearney, of Paris, it was presented to the 
then recently founded Royal Irish Academy, in whose 
Library it is now preserved. By a singular fate, the nine 
leaves which were missing in 1688 have found their way 
to the shelves where the remainder of the book formerly 
stood. These were identified by O'Curry. These leaves 
have since been transposed so as to follow p. 193.

Nennius. Imperfect at the beginning. The first line = the

The Dinnseanchus. 

This work treats of the names of Irish lakes, mountains, 
etc. Transcribed by John O'Keenan, but with no indication 
of the date except that it was before Christmas, and that 
John O'Mulconry was sick at Ardkyle. O'Donovan says 
this John O'Mulconry kept a celebrated school at Ardkyle, 
near Six Mile Bridge, county Clare, in the reign of Elizabeth, 
and was the writer of an Ode addressed to Brian na Murtha 
O'Rouarc, who, according to Lord Bacon, was, at his own 
request, hanged with a gad according to his own country 
fashion. The poems of the Dinnseanchus have been edited 
by Mr. E. J. Gwynn in the Todd Lecture Series.

Treatises on Materia Medica. 

The first consists of 30 ff. and two fragments of leaves, 
and contains a list of plants, trees, gum, etc., alphabetically 
arranged. The leaves are disarranged : pp. 1-10 ought to be

pp. zi-30. The beginning is p. 11 : 'Ambra Spermaceti.' 
O'Donovan was misled by the disorder of the ff., and says 
that all before 'Carduus benedicte'. is wanting. O'Donovan 
says it seems to be a translation of a little work on Materia 
Medica which issued from the Medical School at Mont- 
pelier in 1303. At the bottom of pp. 32, 33 is an inscription 
in the ' Ogam Craobh ' character. 

The second tract, beginning 65, consists of 25 if., and 
treats of the manner of preparing plants, etc., for use. If 
is not arranged alphabetically. On pp. 81 and 100 appears, 
in a later hand, the name of Dermod O'Sheil. The family 
of O'Sheil were hereditary physicians from a remote period. 
On the margin of several pages appears the name of John 
M'Namara, described more fully on p. 8z as ' of Torthill, 
near Castle-president, one of his Majesties Attorneys at 
Law, sworn .lawyer in Tilliscourt, London.' 'This John 
was well known in Dublin as a collector of Irish MSS.' 

This book was bought at Vallancey's sale in 1792. It is 
in a brass-mounted binding with the arms of James I. on 
the sides; but it is clear that this binding originally belonged 
to a different book.

of the Irish monarchs and events with the monarchs of the 
world in the handwriting of Dr. O'Sullivan.

Medical Treatises (imperfect). 

Lettered on the side ' Sillanus de Nigris in Almansorem.' 

pp. 1-16. A Treatise on Materia Medica. So far as can 
be judged from comparison with Mr. O'Grady's account of 
Harl. 546, in the B.M. Catal., p. 175, this is a translation 
of ' Gualterus de dosibus.' It ends p. 15, col. 2, 1. 5 ; then

Brehon Law Tracts and Miscellanea. 

A volume made up of several distinct books or tracts of 
different sizes. 

1 . The Seanchus M6r, said to contain the body of Irish 
Laws as modified after the introduction of Christianity. 
See 1 316. See Petrie, Trans. R.I. A., vol. xviii. Memoir 
on Tara. He gives the prefatory matter, pp. 76-78. 

The penmanship is beautiful, and many of the capitals 
are ornamented with red, green, and silver. In some of 
the initial letters grotesque figures of animals are intro- 
duced. There is a copious gloss. From a note at the 
bottom of p. 1 we learn that the volume belonged to 
Duald Mac Firbis in 1666. A notice at the bottom of 
col. 161 informs us that this part of the volume was 
transcribed by John Mac Egan, of Ormond ; and from other 
memoranda at the bottom of cols. 193, 194., and the top 
of col. 223, it appears that it was transcribed in Leinster, 
and belonged to Edmond O'Doran, who was hereditary 
Brehon of that province. In the mem. on 193, 194 the 
scribe excuses his bad writing by the badness of the ink 
and the coldness of the weather, which was Christmas time. 
This tract ends col. 225 ; then follows a tract on the 
relative duties of the chieftain and his subjects, ending 
on col. 254 ; the next three columns being left blank and 
numbered as one. Reproduced for the Brehon Law Com- 
mission : see No. 1424. O'D. 1. A.L.I., vol. i. Col. 160

Col. 311. Of taking possession of land. There are sundry 
whimsical remarks of the scribe (John Cosnavy) in the 
margin. It appears that he moved from place to place

capitals, with gloss and commentary in small letters inter- 
lined. The text corresponds with that of col. 12 to col. 60 
above, and some defects of that copy may be supplied from 
this. O'D. 490. 

Col. 413. The tract on landlord and tenant contained in 
No. 13 16, pp. 15 sqq. ; in capital letters with copious com- 
mentary in small letters, 5 ff., apparently of the fifteenth 
century. In a memorandum at the bottom of 427, 428, the 
scribe laments the slaying of the children of Turlogh 
Buidhe [O'Brien] by the son of O'Lochlainn, and gives 
his own name ; Carbre, the son of Shane [Mac Egan]. 
From a memorandum at the foot of col. 430, it appears that, 
when this memorandum was written, the tract consisted of 
108 ff. O'D. 508. 

Cols. 431-468. A fragment consisting of 14 ff. of larger 
size than the preceding, with some small bits inserted in 
several places. It contains a commentary on various 
articles of the Brehon Laws, on rules of evidence, and of 
pleading, and gives very curious explanations of old words 
and phrases long obsolete. O'D. 531.

Miscellanea. 

Though bound in quarto form, this volume includes frag- 
ments of books of various sizes and different ages. The 
first three leaves are not included in the pagination. The 
first of these is mutilated, and on the recto wholly illegible. 
On the verso it contains part of an Irish Law tract. The 
second and third contain part of a Latin Psalter, which 
seems to have had the two versions, namely, that of Jerome 
and the Vulgate, on alternate pages. The first page is 
almost illegible, but we can see that it contained Ps. lxxi. 
9-2)0 in Jerome's version from the Hebrew ; the following 
page contains Ps. lxxi. 21 J to lxxii. 8 in the Vulgate, with 
marginal glosses in Latin. The next leaf begins with 
Ps. lxxiii. 3-170 in Jerome's version ; the verso contains 
Ixxiii. 17^ to lxxiv. 2a, with marginal glosses (illegible). 
(Incorrectly described by O'Donovan.) 

Passing to the numbered pages — 

Of the first leaf only a very small fragment remains. At 
the top of p. 1 is a memorandum by Edw. Lhwyd, stating 
that the MS. consists of 218 ff. (the same number is given 
on p. 358), and that he purchased it from Agnew (hereditary 
hard of O'Neill of Clannaboy).

Collection of Poems, p. 304. 

Transcribed by Hugh O'Daly. 

This MS., as far as p. 220, is beyond question copied 
from h. 5. 10, No. 1382, the prose pieces being omitted. 
First, the poems in both MSS. are in the same order, 
apart from the interposition of the prose pieces in 5. 10. 
Secondly, in the case of Keating's three poems, the 
collations given by Fr. MacErlean in his edition of Keating- 
enable us to assert that where 5. 10 differs from all the 
other copies collated, the present MS. agrees with it, and 
this is particularly important where the peculiarity consists 
in the omission of two or more lines. Thirdly, a very 
striking proof is the blank space after bipcounc on p. 25. 
In 5. 10 there has been a name, as appears from the trace 
of two letters remaining, but the rest of the name is lost 
in consequence of the wearing of the margin of the page. 
Note also the reading mentioned below under p. 9. 

The headings down to p. 60 are in a better hand than 
O'Daly's.

quoted below, seems to show that this section stood first when 
he bought the volume. The Uraicept which occupies most 
of this section was written by two scribes, probably of 
the fifteenth century, working alternately. One signs him- 
self ' Sairbre/^ach ' on p. 169; the other, who writes a 
squarer and more laborious hand, signs ' Aod ' on 
pp. 177, 184, 200. He cannot, however, be the Aod Core

some places where they differ the readings of this text 
have been written into No. 13 18 in a late hand (Charles 
O'Conor's). The Auraicept runs on to p. 186, which is the 
end of a gathering of 1 4. ff. It is continued on the small 
leaf (pp. 197-8), but not on its conjugate (pp. 199, 200). 
It then goes back to p. 187, and ends on p. 210. 
The Auraicept has been lately edited by the Rev. G.

three stanzas beginning : Leisio clann t)orhnuill bo t)ia :

the second, two stanzas, in English script, beginning: 
" Domhnall m Eoin aigneadh saimh," and signed by 
Domhnall o D&\aigk. 
Note. — O'Curry, probably by a slip of* memory, states that 
this volume contains fragments of the Fled Bricrend 
('Materials,' pp. 193,194). It is not so. The error is 
noted by Windisch ('Irische Texte,' 1880, p. 236, note). 



Scribal Notes and Marginalia. 

Different parts of the volume were written at different 
dates and by different hands, but it is probable, judging 
by the script, that the legal sections (pp. 1-37 and 
54-79 and 85-88), and also pp. 40-52 and the sections 
containing the Auraicept, &c. (pp. 159-210), are the 
work of the same school, which may have been kept 
by a branch of the McEgan family, to whom many legal 
and other manuscripts are due. One member of this 
family, Cosnamach mac Aedagain, signs his name in 
full on p. 63 m. inf. (where he styles himself pep an 
liubmp pi), and on p. 86, m. inf. His Christian name 
occurs frequently, sometimes as Cosnaidh, sometimes 
Cosnamach. Two scholars of his name are mentioned 
by the Four Masters, under the dates 1422 and 1529, 
but there is nothing to show whether either of these is our 
scribe. His hand is very similar to some of those employed 
in Nos. 1336 and 1337 (codices of the sixteenth century); 
but it might very well belong to the fifteenth. Cosnamach 
wrote certainly pp. 85-88 of our manuscript, and probably 
a good part of pp. 54-79, and he may have taken a share 
also in pp. 1-37 ; but there seems to be at least one other 
hand at work on this legal matter, similar in style to his. 
The two hands employed on the Auraicept are also similar, 
and it may be noted that Sairbrethach, the name of one 
of these two scribes, was used bv the McAedhagains : see 
FM index. 5 

The section containing pp. 40-53, which is the most 
interesting part of the ms., was written by two or more 
scribes. One of them gives us his name in a note at the 
end of the poem Cpocaip inbna (p. 46) : m Ifn na cuicpe 
na punna po cabpao oipbi bon pspibneoip .1. bo Roigne 
mac pingin. Another called Aed Core (he does not <-ive 
his surname) wrote the following notes : 



1363] TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. 213 



p. 44 at end of the Mongan story : 00 cup cupnab baoo 
bubepca ap pinim bo mongan anuaparca (?) nf em (?) lin 
7 bo mongan 7 baeo. 

p. 48. m. sup. Q muipe mop ae& cope inbiu bo 
p[cpfb]. 

No part of the text of this section seems to have been 
written by Cosnamach mac Aedagain, but he has signed his 
name in the upper margin of pp. 46, 47, 50, and the stanzas 
given below, and many other marginalia in pp. 40-52, are in 
his hand : so that this section also was probably written in 
the school to which he belonged. Another scribe called 
Duach wrote part of pp. 38-9, which show the work of two 
or three scribes, and stand apart (in handwriting) from the 
preceding and following leaves. The entry is (p. 39, last 
line): mipi buac in Xmchaig f peapail abuibe. Cf. note 
printed above under p.' 83. 

On p. 70, last line, occurs this note : pin 7 mipi in 
paelmac pacac a cill 1 bonnacain 7 lp inbfp lium in 
paec pin bimig opum. Cell Ui Donnacain is not given in 
Hogan's Onomasticon ; but O'Donnagain's country was 
Ara Tire, near Nenagh, and this would agree with another 
note on p. 78, marg. : pin 7 an upmumam bam 7 bocpaib

such as Lusmag, in King's County ?) 7 me eip c6c lucu

bia . . . buibi. These entries suggest that the codex was 
(partly) written in a school kept by the Ormond branch 
of the MacEgans : cf. Introduction to facs. of L. Breac, p. xvii. 
Other notes of place are found at p. 9 ad calc. ip coipppeac

The entry on p. 169, last line, already referred to, runs :

The sections written by Cosnamach and his fellows are 
liberally provided with other marginalia, stanzas, and 
remarks of the usual kind, — pious ejaculations, complaints 
•of pen, ink, or vellum, of cold or homesickness, and 
personalities about the scribe's companions — these last 
sometimes unintelligible, perhaps intentionally so. Here 
are some specimens : —

The sections x, xi, and xii are each independent of the

none legible in xi. Section xii seems to have been written

Poems and Genealogies. 

Once a well-written volume, now much stained and frayed, 
but the leaves are carefully mounted and rebound. Many 
leaves are missing and replaced by the binder with blank 
paper, and some of those that remain are imperfect. 
Part of no. 1291 was copied by Hugh O'Daly from 
this volume, which was already at that date (1755) in a 
fragmentary condition. This becomes clear when the 
poems which are incomplete in this volume are compared 
with the copies in 1291, which show exactly the same 
defects: see, for instance, pp. 104, 138, 181, and especially 
pp. 213, 243. But some poems which are now defective in 
this codex are complete in 1291, showing that some leaves 
have been lost since the copy was made. In many passages 
where this volume is soiled O'Daly's copy is quite meaning- 
less. A note in 129 1 says that the scribe is copying from 
' leabhar ui Suildubhain ' : so our MS. belonged to F. S. 
Sullivan. The original format is exactly like that of No. 
1 3 8 1 , and the hand is very similar to that of Turlough 
O'Reilly, who wrote most of that MS. Probably this volume 
was written, a little earlier, by one of the same family.

Poems, etc. 

Written by Shane O'Sullivan in 1703, as appears from his 
note on p. 172. His name appears also p. 61 to p. 77. 
Dates are attached to several of the poems, one of which 
(p. 61) also has the place of composition, a lobdn. Of 
these dates all but one are found also in No. 1360 (which 
is copied from this codex). They are clearly dates of com- 
position, not of transcription. There are many diffeiences 
of spelling between the two mss., and a few verbal 
differences. 

The volume is bound in two vellum leaves, which con- 
tain portions of a Latin homily, or perhaps rather of a tract 
on church ritual, with rubricated headings. 

The first page is blank, except for the name of the scribe. 
The first four lines on p. 2 cannot be made out in con- 
sequence of the wearing away of the margin. Then we 
have Cat>5 puao mac Concubap bo TTI . . ., beginning: 
Nf capla le paicce a cceannca aip caog, followed by 
Ppeaspa aip pm 6 TTlagnup. Begins: Cabe an paopla 
po capluig ab ceannpa a Cabg. 

p. 3. Corresponds to p. 1 of No. 1360, and from this to 
P- 77 (79 °f r 3 6 °) the contents of the two books are the 
same, and it is unnecessary to repeat the list. 

pp. 78-1 1 1 contain extracts from Keating's History; the 
text differs somewhat from Dinneen's edition. 

p. 78. Story of the war between Diarmait, son ofFeargus, 
king of Leinster, and Guaire, son of Colman, originating 
in a charge brought by an old woman, Sinneach Cro, 
against the latter. Begins : Cln peaccmab bliabain bon 
pfg Oiapmaic, as in Keating (ed. Dinneen iii, 58). 

p. 82. Story of St. Mochua, brother of Guaire, and his 
miraculous provision of flesh meat for his deacon ; and that 
the story is true is proved by the name of the well beside 
which the -Saint had been keeping Lent, viz. Bothair na 
Mias. See Keating ut supr. iii, 64. 



1382] TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. 241 



p. 83. Story of Breasal, son of King Diarmaid, son of 
Feargus, and of St. Becan, who restored him to life. 

p. 85. Of Guaire, son of Colman, Cuimin Foda, son of 
Fiachra, and Caimin, of Inis Cealtrach, and the answers 
of each to the question what he would most desire to 
have in his power. Keating iii, 68. 

There is a gap between pages 86 and 87. The old 
numbering passes from 86 to 95. Some leaves have been 
removed containing the beginning of the story of St. 
Columba, as told by Keating. 

p. 95. Story of St. Columcille, and his furtive copy of a 
book of Fionntan (here called a Gospel). Begins with the 
words : Soipseal ap leaban pionncom 5cm piop. Keating 
iii, line 1390. 

Ibid. Story of Columcille and the queen, wife of Aodh, 
and mother of Conall, whom with her maiden he turned 
into cranes because of their disrespectful reception of him. 
Followed by an account of the negotiations between king 
Aodh and the Saint, with the three demands of the latter. 
Cf. Keating iii, 88 seq. 

p. 912. Story of the release of Sgannlan. Keating iii, 96. 

p. 94. Why St. Columcille was so called. Also of other 
saints whose names were changed. Keating iii, 100. 

p. 95. Further particulars about the saint, with verses 
inserted, viz.: 6icne cuneachca ndbbt \_sic~] : (p. 96) gle bo 
luigeac lpin ngameam, etc. Keating iii, 102 seq. 

p. 97. Of the priest who had figures of the sun and 
moon in his church, "and who was carried off by a demon, 
and afterwards became a monk. Keating iii, 106. 

Ibid. Of the number of other saints called Colum, and of

man, who was hanged at Dublin for robbery.' Finally, the 
verses addressed to Edw. Lhwyd by Robert Campbell. 
Archceologia, ut sup. 

3. 16" x 11". Fragment of a comparative vocabulary of 
Latin, Welsh, Cornish, and Armoric, from Ob to the end of 
the alphabet. This is much less full than the comparative 
vocabulary in the Archceologia, yet many words are given 
which are not there. 

The Cornish is generally quoted with Lh. added. Some 
of the Armoric words appear to have been written bv a 
Frenchman. 

This is followed by a list of Latin words from Nadir to 
the end of the alphabet, with spaces left for the insertion of 
Welsh and Armoric words ; but many of these spaces have 
never been filled. 

4. The Welsh Preface to the Archceologia. 

This seems to be the copy prepared for press, as it has 
on the margin directions to the printer. It only extends 
to the end of the third printed page. 

5. Three Armoric Vocabularies, and a Charter. 

The first (11 pp.) begins with C (except for one line 
under B) ; the second (6 pp.), in a different hand, begins 
with Di, and does not proceed beyond Pe. These two differ 
very much as to the words included. The first contains 
words not in the vocabulary printed by Lhwyd. It has a 
supplementary page to the letter G. The second was 
originally written in Armoric and French (the English is 
added by another hand) ; it contains a few of the words in 
the printed book. The third consists of 4 pp. of a Latin- 
French-Armoric vocabulary containing only the letters 
PQRS. 

There is also included in this portion an imperfect copy 
of a charter relating to the Abbey of Strata Florida (3 pp.). 

6. Ms. of the Irish Grammar printed in the Archceologia 
(imperfect). Also 4 pp. of Notes relating to Irish pronuncia- 
tion and orthography, written by Edw. Lhwyd. 

7. Various fragments of the Irish Preface to Lhwyd's Irish- 
English Dictionary, Archceologia, pp. 310 sqq. 

8. Part of the printed text of Lhwyd's Irish-English 
Dictionary, containing sheets LMNOPTZ, Aa to Ee, 
with copious MS. notes and additions by O'Flaherty, 
author of ' Ogygia,' dated 23rd October, 1704. These notes 
have been used by Lhwyd in his Appendix. 

9. A sheet 61" x 32", containing on one side an Irish- 
Latin Vocabulary, and on the other a Latin-Basque 
Vocabulary.

1. A letter from John O'Donovan (probably addressed to 
Dr. J. H. Todd) relating to the manuscript No. 1399, and 
other matters. 

2. Extracts from the Book of Fermoy in an eighteenth- 
century hand. " It seems to have been written for old 
Michael Casey " (O'D.'s note). 

3. More extracts from the Book of Fermoy, illustrating the 
meanings of old Irish words, written probably by Michael of 
Cnoc Firinne, an old herb doctor, who made a noise in the 
newspapers about a.d. 1824-5 (O'D.'s note).

But the date 1679 on ff. 18, 39, etc., as well as the hand-

Transcript and Translation of the preceding Deeds, 
by Eugene O'Curry. 

The transcript includes Todd's Nos. 15-21, which were 
in O'Curry's own possession. The original of No. 22 is 
in the British Museum (Egerton, No. 139, p. 179). That 
of No. 23 is in this Library (No. 1337, p. 455). It is a 
judgment of four Brehons in a controversy respecting land, 
and is interesting as showing that, in 1561, which is the 
date of the document, the Brehon Law continued to be 
practised (as indeed it was for at least 100 years after). 
There is also a transcript of No. 24 (Latin), and a ten- 
tative transcript of No. xxv, headed ' Hardiman's Deeds, 
No. xxui ' ; No. 26 is not transcribed.

Grammar and Prosody. 

p. 1. Tract on Grammar and Prosody. At p. 38 the 
handwriting changes. After p. 99 there is a break, with 
three blank pages : the subject is resumed in a different 
hand (that of Tuileagna O'Mulconry) on p. 103. At the 
end of the tract (p. 108) this scribe adds a prayer for 
' him who began this grammar, viz. Tadhg 6g, son of 
Tadhg Dall O'Higgin, and for him for whom it is written, 
viz. Father Patrick Tyrrell.' pp. 109 and 112 blank: 
on pp. no, in there seems to have been an elaborate 
erasure. On p. 113 begins another Prosody, 'written by 
Giollabhrighde O'Hussey,' followed by a short tract on 
faults to be avoided (p. 167). This also is ascribed on 
p. 113 to the same author, pp. 154-5 were left blank 
at first by accident; on p. 154 is written in a very small 
neat hand the poem: beic na hdonap bom lairh fteip 
(6 st.), followed by a stanza in Ogham Craobh beginning : 
an agus amh agus as. and signed in the same script mise 
Conas (? Conan) Dubhda. 

On p. 177, at end of the prosody, there is a colophon, 
signed by Tuileagna O'Mulconry, dated 25th Sept., 1659, 
saying that he has finished ' this little grammar,' in Madrid, 
for Father Patrick Tyrrell of the Order of St. Francis : -| nf 
congnarh poldip baiti a qiiall bon T?oirh bon cup po. 

On p. 190, after 12 blank pages, there is a quatrain:

Grammar and Medicine. 

There are 26 folios: 1-12 have been trimmed by the binder: 
the vellum is coarse, and the script large and clumsy. 
Of if. 13-26 the vellum is smoother and the script is small, 
the work of a trained scribe. 

p. 1. Poem by Dublitir ua Huathgaile, beginning : 
R61015 bam a t)6, etc. 93 st. (?) See No. 1284, 153$, and 
LL. 141^, with Atkinson's Introduction, p. 32. The first 
page is much rubbed. 

p. 3. The Leabhar Ollamhan or Auraicept na nEices. 
This copy (not used in Calder's edition) begins like that in 
YBLfacs., p. 217 (= No. 13 18, 500): Opbeapab cyia ubbaip 
na nJ5ait>eal, but it differs considerably from both YBL 
and BB. The text is accompanied by a copious gloss 
which is ascribed (p. 3 m. sup.) to Cennfaolad mac Oiliolla. 
Ends incomplete with p. 24: Nem nime na nime, etc.. 
= BB. 330^45. On p. 16 m. inf., there is a note written 
perhaps by the scribe of this tract: Op m6p ion ma-^eadh 
bo pedan 6 piagail uec (= beic) a$ iapaig ollamnacca 
a pine p6in. 

p. 25. Treatise of boils, paralysis, and other disorders, 
beginning : " Apostemata et tumor idem sunt secundum 
anticos ut disid [_sic~\ Gailienus." This agrees with No. 1435, 
p. 137, col. 2, where, however, this is not the beginning of a 
treatise. 

After p. 34 (= No. 1435, 1541228) six folios have been 
wrongly "inserted : they are slightly smaller, and are written 
by two different scribes, a change in hand occurring at 
p. 43^36. They treat of diseases of the eyes (35a), ears (35*), 
nose (36^), teeth (37S), mouth (38^) ; of quinsy (40a), cough 
(401$), pleurisy, etc. (41^), tremor cordis (44a), pains in the 
stomach (45^), singultus (46$), unnatural appetite {ibid. 
unfinished). 

p. 47 should follow p. 34, and continues without a break 
on hydropsy and its cure, as in H35- P- 49 a 2 4 = en d °f 
1435, 156, after which there is a gap in that MS. On p. 52a 
begins a new topic : ' Uarioile sunt parva apostemata ' 
(incomplete).

nose (112), ears (115), breasts (116), testicles (124). Most

lib. iv, fen iii seq. (see edition of B. Rinius, Venet., 1582, 
p. 45 1 seq.) and lib. iv. fen iv. {Ibid., p. 470 seq.) Later writers 
are also quoted, especially Magister Gulielmus de Varignana 
spelled " Varginana," &c), a physician of Bologna, who 
flourished about 1 300 : his De Curandis Morbis was published 
at Bale in 1545 (Fantuzzi, Not. Scrit. Bologn. viii, 156). Also 
Fidelis, presumably the Sicilian writer, whose De Relationibus

" Apostema et tumor idem sunt secundum andico sunt [sic]

cain 00 companaig. There follows a Latin note on the 
virtues of a relic, a nail used in the crucifixion. Throughout 
the treatise there are several other scribal notes in which 
this Aodh is addressed in terms of affection, e.g. on p. 110s: 
Sin ouic a Goo cpoi&e 7 lp paoa in la a c' egmais. So

words of the poem to which the verses belong. They are 
about one Domnall mac Domnaill. Among other scribbles 
on this page, there is a line : ip paoa barii map acaim ^an

F. 4. 13A contains a translation of the first volume by 
W. M. Hennessy. 

The first leaf was a cover ; the reverse has on the right- 
hand half an impression of the letters on the next leaf 
but one (f. za), and on the left hand is jotted the descent of 
Oliverus a Bourk. At foot is a prayer (inverted). The next 
leaf is numbered 1. 

f. 1. The properties and rights of Mac William Burke. 
Begins: tDuchaig mic uilUam bupc ann po. At the top 
of the page in faint writing, by a later hand : Socan rhic 
uilliam 1 lp po beag 6. At the bottom of the page is 
written in English : " Olyverus Bourke mac Sheamus died 
the laste daye of December Anno Dom : 161 9 in the House 
at Inisquoe (?). The next page is in two different hands, 
and faded so as to be hardly legible.

f. 55. A historical account of the Burkes, beginning : 
Cdinic hcmnpi mac cingg pol6nc .1. mac pig ppangc 
511 pa^anaib. 

f. 6b. An account of the high connexions of the Burkes 
in England, France, and Ireland. After five lines there is 
an erasure of two lines, and lower down an erasure of five 
lines has been written over. This second writing contains 
the date 1578, and claims Queen Elizabeth as of the blood 
of the Burkes [as, indeed, she was, Lionel, third son of 
Edward III, having married Elizabeth de Burgh]. The next 
paragraph begins : Cuilleao eile bo rhacgniomapcoib ] 
bo rhoppgelaib bupcac annpo, and claims Baldwin of 
Jerusalem as a Burke. It seems that while he chose the 
east as the scene of his exploits, William Burke chose the 
west, Scotland, Germany, France, England, and Ireland. 

f. fa. There is another erasure of two and a half lines. 

f. jb is headed Genelogia Borgonum. This and the 
following six pages are in a different script and in Latin. 

f. 8a. Headed : CI5 po pepbfp clainne uilliam bunc

Clanricard in Latin. 

f. %b. Historical notes, especially concerning the relations 
of the De Burghs with the Scotch Braces. 

After six blank leaves come fourteen illuminated pictures. 
The first four are of sacred subjects, viz. Christ before 
Pilate; the scourging; the crowning with thorns; Christ 
bearing the cross. Nine of the pictures are full-length 
portraits of Burkes in complete armour, the first being 
Richard Mor, who is here stated to be the son of a 
daughter of the English king. Then follow (2) Richard's 
son William I ; (3) William II, by whom was slain Felim 
O'Conor and other chieftains ; (4) Edmond Albanach ; 
(s)Tomas; (6) Edmond the Bearded; (7) Richard his son; 

(8) Richard's son Shean. The last portrait is that of 

(9) Sheaan son of Oliverus, son of Sheaan son of Richard.

A blank page is left for that of Oliverus, and has at the top 
the words : aic oliuepup abupk. In addition there is a 
picture of the arms of these Burkes. The shield corresponds 
to that of the Earls of Mayo. Some of these illustrations 
are reproduced by Mr. M. J. Blake in the Galway Archaeo- 
logical Journal, vols, vi and vii. 

f. 26. After one_ blank leaf comes a poem of 78 quatrains, 
beginning : O Old oealocap gac oige. After three 
introductory quatrains begins : Cuan 6nle6<i;am pfol 
p6pluip. 

f. 286. A poem of 68 quatrains (by Tadhg dall O'Higgin), 
beginning : peaponb cloioem cpioch banba. For an 
account of this poem, see O'Grady, B. M. Catal., p-427- 

After forty-two blank leaves, we have a memorandum in 
English, headed: " Ansate of y e rising out of Connaght. 
Mayo — xl ho. & cc foote," and so forth. On the following 
two pages is a formal document in Latin, beginning : 
"Universis et singulis pateat per praesentes quod manerium 
De bel lecce pervenit ad Iohannem Oliveri de Burgo 
eiusque filium Vaterum De Burgo, sed veri heredes ipsius 
manerii seu castri, viz. Thomas cathenar«#z Bared et eius 
filii ..." These " true heirs " then proceed to make a con- 
cession. The document is signed by sixteen persons, five of 
whom have the name Baired [Barrett]. The names of several 
witnesses are recited. Another similar document follows 
on the next page, bearing date 1584, and signed by four 
persons, the names of the witnesses being recited. This 
embodies a contract between Walter Burke and the sons 
of Richard Bared. On the next two pp. the former docu- 
ment is given in Irish in a different hand, with the 
signatures. Below is written " per me Risterdum Merak 
Sacerdos parochialis." His signature is to both docu- 
ments. They are printed in O'Donovan's Hy Fiachrach, 
458 seq.

There is a short table of contents written (says O'Donovan) 
by Maurice Gorman. The first part of the volume ( 1-238) is 
all in one hand, probably of about the same period as pp. 457- 
460, which are dated 14.79. The scribe of the first part was 
apparently Lucas O'Dallain (196 /re. sup. and 222). 

p. 1. Hibernia insola in occidenti posita est. This is a 
version of the genealogical tract printed by Meyer in ZCP viii 
291 seq. from Laud 610. Meyer does not seem to have known 
this recension. It agrees in part with the tracts in LL 319- 
341 and BB 67 seq., as also with some of the material scattered 
■ throughout the Book of Lecan. 

col. 33. Here there is a scribal note by « Sean macTorna ' 

187. Ri Caipil cpa bopac ponb . . . cf. ZCP viii ,08 
followed by another early tract Rechccupe cobaix o pis 
Capil. These tracts no doubt came originally from the 
Psalter of Cashel, to which there are several references in 
this manuscript.

189 was left blank by the first scribe, and then filled with 
pedigrees by a later hand : at the end, in another late hand, 
a prayer for Tomas mac Conchobair buide . . . O Ceallaig. 

190 to 238 are occupied mainly with the poems in praise 
of O'Kellys and O'Maddens, enumerated in this catalogue. 
But no part of the MS. can ever have belonged to the codex 
in R.I. A. known as the Book of Ui Maine. 

195 was left blank at first, and then filled in by a late hand. 

206. Alliterative prose eulogy of Eogan mac Murchaid m. 
Cathail m. Madudan and his ancestors (see O'Donovan's 
"Hy Many," 133). 

215. Poem: Ca.05 cpiac 6p cdc (15 couplets), followed

A gap between 226 and 227. On 227 the last 10 st. of a 
poem which began with t>umb. A blank at the end of 227 
has been filled up by a late hand. 

228. Parts of this poem are printed in O'Donovan's "Hy 
Many," pp. 129-133. 

p. 250. An apologetic note by the scribe, Rugraidhe 
buidhe Mac Mithgamhna, dated "at Cill Mhaog in the time 
of Philip mac Muiris at Almain, 1553." See Onom. s.v. Cell 
Maedhog. 

239. A new hand begins here. 

349 m. inf. A scribal note in a later hand than text ad- 
dressed to Risderd mac Muircertaig. This Risderd has 
written on 345 m. sup. (copied on 346 m. sup.) some verses 
beginning Gon bo laoib bo lobamap. 

391 left margin, and 408 right margin, notes (in a later 
hand than text) written by one Moris mac Gerailt, who has also 
made an attempt to write his name in English capitals at 375. 

420. After Auraiccept Moraind, a copy of Tecosa Cormaic. 
At end (in different ink) a Tl'luipi bena spapa opm, followed 
by dpuin na naioib nium&a. 1 st. (cf. Ac. Sen., ed. 
Stokes, 11. 340-341). 

Other occasional stanzas are written by various hands at 
425-6, 427, 457, 458. _ 

457. Dr. Abbott adopts O'Donovan's statement. But in 
fact this is a fragment of the Irish version of the Thebaid ; 
see Celtic Review, vols, vii et seq. 

Ornamental initial letters occur throughout the volume, 
from 244 onwards.

The lower half of the front cover is a leaf from a copy of 
the Heptads ; the verso, which is still fairly legible, contains 
Nos. xxxii to xxxvi, as in Atkinson's edition, Laws v, 228- 
240. The treatise enclosed belongs, as do also No. 1311

For "m'embr." read "chart." I cannot find this treatise 
in No. 1289.

The first series of aphorisms is numbered by the scribe 
1-74; it is interrupted by a gap after f. 2. On f. 3 we begin 
with No. 7 of a new series, which is carried to No. 90 ; here 
the numbering ceases, though there are 28 more aphorisms, 
ending with f. 5. The Hippocratic sections are also 
numbered .

(No. 16). This is in the same hand as No. 1306. 

(No. 17). Not (as Dr. Abbott states) in the same hand as 
No. 15. It is like the work of one of the scribes employed 
on No. 1305, q. v. 

(No. 18). Written perhaps by the scribe of No. 1363, 125-

then comes . . . caca gall . ni bi cpeipi ac bo caniall. 
The initial letters are given at the end (on the verso) as 
c. c. c. 5. (perhaps tuairgnid croda, or the like). The 
surname of the dead chieftain is unfortunately illegible, but 
he is referred to in line 7 as "the ConallCernach of Clann 
Gibuin," so he was probably a FitzGibbon (Mac Gibuin). 
In line 16 he is called " son of Joan (Siban)."

Sebrigkt to Col. Vallancey, dated 1782 ; (2) the note about 
the Cardinal's mules, etc., described by Dr. Abbott under 
No. 1317. 

p. 14, m. sup. A note dated 1575 written at MuilennDuna 
Daigre by one Aodagan, no doubt one of the McEgans. 

p. 19, m. sup. A brief note written at Cluain Lethan, 
where there was another scriptorium of the McEgans : see 
Preface to facsimile of L. Breac, p. xvii.

Cleo rhc Concubmp fnc ~§\\\a na naem popcpib pin ap

same Aed (or Hugh) who wrote the memorandum on pp. 36-7 
to which Dr. Abbott refers, and which is quoted in full in 
Preface to L. Breac, p. x. 

p. tftb. The poem of the released spirit begins benbacc 
popa n-ipnaigci (9 St.). 

Ibid. The note about Donnchad O'Kennedy was written 
"in the house of Cian mac an Gabann in Ormond." This 
family (says O'Donovan) were hereditary shanachies to the 
O' Kennedys of Ormond. O'Kennedy was bishop of Killaloe, 
and was postulated by the chapter of Cashel for the arch- 
bishopric, but the king refused his consent (a.d. 1237), and 
David McKelly was consecrated. (Ware's Bishops, 228 ; id. 
Archiep. Cassel., p. 9 ; Cal. Papal Letters i. 166 ; Thei'ner, 
Vet. Mon. Hib. et Scot, xciv ; Br. Mus. 4793 f. 5 z°). This 
note seems therefore to have been written before the kino-'s 
refusal.

No. 1318, 920, No. 1337, 88a > No. 1363, 4, and Laws v,

the metrical tracts printed by Thurneysen, Ir. Texte iii. 
At p. 84 it is continued by Cip lip gpdio pile: cf. No. 1289,

Japhet and his wife Olivana, cf. BB 3. 

These four folios are of the same size (12" x 9J"), and in 
the same hand as pp. 67-70, and were therefore written 
about 1237, if we can trust the note on p. 68. 

pp. 105-108 were formerly 43-46 ; Dr. Abbott's numera-

Note that down to this point Dr. Abbott gives the machined 
numbers, but from this on he follows the pencil numbers, 
adding in brackets the earlier numeration (in ink). 

pp. 39-42. These two folios were written by Dubaltach 
MacFirbisigin 1643 : see4o3; as are also pp. 77-156. The 
fragmentary glossary on the second folio contains only part 
of D, E, F, and part of G. 

p. 131 (135 machined number). The treatise which begins 
here (acephalous) is in no sense a "glossary": it consists of 
short legal paragraphs, interspersed with illustrative anec- 
dotes, chiefly about the satirist Athirne, together with a

number of obscure alliterative compositions attributed to 
him and other quasi- legendary poets, such as Fergus file, 
Raigne roscadach, &c. Ends with a poetic dialogue between 
Morann and Fachtna, the beginning of which is lost, as 
there is a chasm after p. 150 (225). There is a transcript of 
this treatise in No. 1338, but No. 1401 has nothing to do 
with it.

This volume contains in all seventeen separate sections of 
various length, viz. : (1) pp. 1, 2 and col. 125-128 (2 ff.) ; 
(2) col. 3-122 (20 ff.) ; (3) pp. 123-4 (1 f.) ; (4) col. 129-216 
(23 ff.); (5) col. 2 1 7-280 '(16 ff); (6) col. 281-344 (16 ff.) ; 
(7) col. 345-364 (6 ff); (8) col. 36S-368 (1 f-); (9) 369 
(Roddy's letter) ; (10) col. 370-400 (8 ff.) ; (11)001.401-436 
(gff.); (12) col. 437-476 (10 ff); (13) col. 477-486 (3 ff); 
(14) col. 487-499 (4 ff.) ; (15) col. 500-572 (i8i ff.) ; 
(16) col. 573-958 (99 ff-) 5 (17) at end > 4 ff- paper. 

Each section is written by one separate hand, except in 
the cases noted below. 

Throughout sections 11 and 16 the text has undergone 
frequent corrections and erasures by a late hand, perhaps 
Charles O'Conor's. 

pp. 1-2 contain two columns each : the numbering by 
columns begins with 3. 

col. 3-87 are, according to O'Curry, the work of Iolland 
and Tornae O'Mulconry, with perhaps a third scribe, un- 
named : see Stokes' Three Glossaries, p. vii. The etymo- 
logical tract in col. 88-122 was also written by the same 
hands. It is known as " O'Mulconry's Glossary," but 
Stokes in giving it that name forgot that O'Curry regarded 
O'Mulconry, or rather the O'Mulconrys, as scribes, not as 
compilers: see Archiv, i. 232. They copied it in the year 
1572, as appears from a note written at the foot of col. 98, 
Of this note the first four lines have been deliberately 
erased, except the initial IS : then we have . . . [Eoghan]

carefully erased. These three men were hanged in the year 
1572 by the Earl of Thomond : see F.M.v, p. 1657. 

col. 129-210 seem to be all written by one scribe, but if so 
it is doubtful whether he is the Seanchan O Mulconry who 
signs on col. 210, or another man. For on p. 143 at the 
head of the poem G5 po bpaigi there is written in the 
same hand as the text mipi coipbm ocnaill(«V) pcpibpic. 
Perhaps this is a note by the scribe of the archetype, a sup- 
position which helps to explain the miswriting of O Conaill. 
Several blanks occur throughout this section, as if the original 
had been illegible. 

132: for " 3 " read " 30." 

149. The poem is headed Cat>5 cc. Read '' Gcu," and in 
line 22 " cechcaipe " (26 stanzas). 

150 : for " 17" read " 35 '' ; 152: read " oecmmaibeap" ; 
'53 : f or " '9 " rea d " '5 " ; 15S : for " 23 " read " 24" ; 
159 : read " Carjg," 40 St. ; 172 : for " 46 " read " 47." 

174 : read " beag aicnim bom aep cumca," 28 St., a blank 
space being left between st. 27 and st. 28. 

185: /or "23" read "28." 

188. There are 27 stanzas of the poem pacup a ndrhait) 
down to the end of col. 189. The end of it on p. 190 seems 
to have been deliberately obliterated, and another poem, 
Qnbam pf ac poinn cigepnaip (7 st.), written over the 
erasure. 

The Duanaire of Tadg og O Higgin ends here. 

191 : for " 36 " read " 37." The heading is very faint, but 
I think should be read t)ucmaipe Guacail [uf] uisin. I can 
see no trace of mac an 6aipb. At col. 212 the name of 
Tuathal O Higgin is written in full. 

194. This poem is incomplete: there is a blank space on 
col. 195. 

201 : for "27" read " 28." 

204 : for " Roe " read " buide." 

207 : read " Cormac ruadh O Higgin " (distinct from 
Cormac mac Gilla-Coluim O'Higgin, as to whom see 
O'Grady, B.M. Cat. 447). 

212. Margaret (Mairgreg) is the name of Brian O'Conor s 
mother, not his wife, who is called in the last stanza mgen 
mes Raghuill {sic, for meic Raghnailll). For " ceintie " 
read " ceine." 

21 1-2 14 are in a different hand from the rest of this section. 
The poem dnoip gabup (incomplete) is in yet another 
hand.

217-248, and also 263-280, are written by one hand ; 249- 
262 by another. 

On 248 there is a note in faded red ink which gives us the 
name of the first scribe and his date. I give this in full, en- 
closing in brackets such words as I cannot read with certainty. 
Atkinson, Contents of Facs., p. zb, gives the name as 
O Duirnin, but I have no doubt that O Duinnin is the 
true reading. I think Atkinson has read the date correctly, 
but it is almost indecipherable. t)onncab mc 5'Mananaeni

Muirchertaig he again gives his name with the date 1401, and 
goes on to recount the portents of the times, as, the dethrone- 
ment of Richard II, an inundation in Flanders, the drowning

of the Earl of Desmond in the Suir (cf. FM iv. 761), the 
sack of Galway by Ulick Burke, a shower of blood at Cnoc 
Rafann (near Cahir, Co. Tipperary), and above all a ship 
that was burned at sea and could not be saved either by 
fresh or salt water. At col. 306, m. inf. he notes a TYIup- 
cpaigi Gpecipne bopcpibup in mbec pa, and at col. 313, 
m. inf. he writes : Gcamaib mbiu 05 cpiall bul cap Sliab 
Cua 7 pop popaib ap peb cipe can cfap ann. Both these 
places are in south-east Tipperary. If it were not for these 
indications of place, the similarity of his penmanship to that 
of Gilla-Isa M'Firbis, who wrote the last section of the MS., 
would lead one to believe that his work formed part of the 
original Leabhar buidhe. He shows an interest in the, affairs 
of Connaught, noting at col. 305, m. sup., the death of Walter 
son of David aBurc, and referring to Ulick aBurc's sack of 
Galway both in the colophon already quoted and in a note 
at col. 316, m. inf. In several notes he mentions the plague 
that was raging (col. 299, 308, 320). 

289-290, m. inf. Three quatrains, written by scribe of 
text: (1) Noca cuala piam ec neic cpiana sdip . . . 
(2) Cumain .cc. TTl'egnac ... (3) TTlop bo cacaib gael-

tains on the redo a complaint about a stolen hare : lp boilig 
linb in mil muigi bogabab in ap painbcep bo 501b bona 
baeicib bpocenig, etc., with a few other trifling notes ; on 
the verso, a poem attributed to S. Cairnech : pep cen apm

O Neinne. 

293-4, m. inf. : Stanza: IN ba maiben in ba puin. 

After col. 304 a leaf is wanting, = Cath Muighe R&tha, ed. 
O'Donovan, pp. 254, 10, to 270, 11. (Note that pp.272, 1 to 
292, 6 of O'D.'s text are wanting in the YBL copy, though 
there is here no hiatus in the MS.) 

305-6, m. inf. A poem in 9 st. : Sen bollocap Ulaib 
bi(hi?) cac Opomma Cpiaig, continued in the lower margin 
of the following pages. On 305-6, m. inf., there is also a 
note half obliterated, which apparently explained the occa- 
sion of the poem : [Cathb]ad drui ise . . . pocan in laib pea

jiacha co cpuch coetn (4 st.), followed by a note on the 
tribe of Dan, and a pedigree of Mflid Espaine, and a note on 
Clann Bresail and Colla Fochrith. In the lower margin a 
stanza, Ceapac boninb ap mo cpob.

343. After the second entry there is a note on the nick- 
name "Fen dar crinach " : cf. Br. Da Derga, § 41. The 
entry about Silvius is on 344. The leaf between 344 and 345 
formerly belonged to No. 1317, and is numbered 227, 228 
(two pages). 

345. See Celtic Review, vols, i et seq. : Eriu viii. 133. 

Ibid., m. inf. Stanza: poglonnaio cac cm ollp. 

Cirruaid's note at 380-1, m. inf., is written in faint ink, 
and is much later than the text. Another note at foot of 
384-5 in similar ink is perhaps also his ; it runs : a TTluipe 
a Seamaip co bci cu plan map canac o baile an TTluca 
anoip (Ballymote, about 25 miles from Lecan or Lackan). 
It is worth noting that Cirruaid {rede Cithruadh) was a name 
in use in the Mac Firbis family : see O'Donovan's Hy 
Fiachrach, pref. vi. In the margin of col. 375 a hand other 
than that of the text wrote bennaccum pop anci bopcpiul> 
mipi bpian o TJuaipc bopeg. 

400. A poem in 3 st, Oilgim baipc, ascribed to Cairpri 
mac Etaine, Eatan ban- file and Oi mac Olluman. Then 
another poem, Cucc bam a X)6 moip, 5 st. 

There is a slip (unnumbered) between 424 and 425, 
containing the dindsenchas of Ceilbe : this is in a different 
hand from the rest. 

437~47 6 - Comparison with No. 1321, 49 seq. shows that 
there is a considerable hiatus after col. 448. Col. 449, 23 
= No. 1 32 1, 693 1. 

Col. 477 contains the end of a treatise on urine. That 
on the four elements begins with 478 and ends on 485. It 
is followed by a separate treatise " de viribus animalium." 

498. Gillapatrick's note gives the place of writing as Loch 
Tethead, which, says O'Donovan, is now Lough O Gara, near 
Boyle, Co. Roscommon. 

499 is a page in two columns; on the verso, unnumbered 
(facs. 463), is a Latin prayer : see Atkinson, Contents. 
500-572 are apparently the work of two (or more) scribes 



1318] OF IRISH MANUSCRIPTS. 347 



whose work is not easy to distinguish. At 511, m. inf., there 
is a note : Sin buic a pippepa o Ow'z'b 7 aca THagnup 05a 
pao nac buic ace bo cecna leca TYloga cpe bigpaip bile 
7 cpuipge buaib pem. 1408 : "This for you, Ferfesa, from 
David, and Magnus says that it is not for you but for the 
Raven of Leth Mogha, through ardent affection and omen 
of success (?)." So O'Donovan, who is unable to explain 
the cryptic reference to the Raven (or rather scnldcrow) of 
Leth Mogha. On 524, m. sup., there is another note, which 
escaped O'Donovan's notice: ISim cuippeac cap eip in 
baill pin bo gpibpne buin a pippepa . mipi Goo o Ouib 
Oabuipan. (The change of hands from David to Aedh 
seems to occur at 516, 7 lines from foot ) At 534, m. inf., 
we have another note, apparently addressed to the same 
Ferfesa: (not noticed by O'D.) [Sin] a pirfesa 5m gupub 
lnmuice . mipi eplarii Cille TTIume . ailnn cpoccaine 
buinn uile 7 511 gcoips ... bo TTlaolinuipe : "There, 
Ferfesa! though it is nothing to boast of. I am the erlamh 
of Cell Muine," etc. This is evidently a little jest of the 
first scribe (David). Cell Muine = Menevia, of which St. 
David was patron. At 542-3, m. inf., a long note ends with 
the words 7 a bpappab Caipppi bam apm paipc. This 
place, says O'Donovan (who translates the whole), was "a 
castle belonging to MacEgan, in Corcamoe, Galway, about 
eight miles from Tuam." Other mss. written by the 
MacEgans' school have notes dated from this place : 
cf. No. 1337, 443, 44s, 450, 452, 454. At 548-9, m. inf., 
at the beginning of the Auraicept there is a long note, 
written at the same place, and ending with the words : 
meipi ip pop«j mac pippapois. 

The last section, 573-958, seems to be all by one hand, 
though there are changes which suggest that different parts 
were written at intervals of time. The-only exceptions are 
a few passages from a second hand, which supplied part of 
618 and part of 619 (the rest of this column and the next are 
blank), the end of 714 and all 715, 739 and the unnumbered 
slip that follows, also the note at foot of 953-4, and the end 
of 958. 

620. This is the end of the Tain (Strachan-O'Keeffe's 
ed., 2746-end).

1319] OF IRISH MANUSCRIPTS. 349 



pp. 90-110 form a gathering of eleven leaves (originally 
twelve, but the last is gone). It is not easy to say how many 
hands have been employed on 90-99. O'Cuirnfn's note says 
that he wrote for his comrade, Seaan O'Glaimin, at Magh 
Eithne. O'D. says that this place is south of Ballyshannon, 
and that the O'Cuirnins were ollamhs to the O'Donnells 
before the fourteenth century, when they died out, and were 
succeeded by the O'Clerys. 

The story of the Passion (99-1 ic) is the work of another 
scribe. 

In the upper margin of 90 to no three quatrains and two 
poems, partly legible, are written by another hand than that 
of the text. The quatrain on p. 90 and most of that on 
p. 91 are illegible. That on p. 92 begins Dd paigchi 
abbap gdipe. The first poem is addressed by a pilgrim to 
a crucifix which has shared his wanderings. The stanza at 
top of p. 96 runs : 

TTlori aoupc lorn aclocaiji 
puapup asuc imocap 
o Ceamrmis oa copcaip spicm 
50 peanmuiri z,o\rthaig Torrian\. 

(I owe the interpretation of this poem to Dr. Bergin.) 
The second poem begins, apparently at top of 106, with 
Rt oCinnpelaig na cpeac. It is on the rights of Leinster 
kings, and the five stanzas which remain agree pretty closely 
with Leabhar na g Ceart (ed. O'Donovan), p. 252. 

pp. 1 19-122 contain the beginning of a copy of Togail 
Troi, following the first version published by Stokes, from 
LL 217. This is carried as far as the story of Hypsipyle 
(not in LL), which is continued by the same hand on nSd. 
(On the recto of this leaf, 118c, a recent hand has written two 
stanzas, TTla piappaigceac buo peapac and poglaim na 
eigpi uile.) Here it breaks off, leaving half the page blank. 
On p. 123 a second fragment of the same version, written 
by another hand, begins somewhat earlier than the point 
where the first leaves off (123a 1 = 122, 12). It is carried on 
to the foot of p. 126, and a continuation is found on one of 
two pieces of vellum stitched upside down to \\%b, the 
verso of the blank leaf which served once as a cover to the 
gathering 119-171. This fragment ends at the killing of 
Cacus, as in LL 222^. A third fragment of the same 
version of Togail Troi is contained partly on the verso of a 
piece of vellum which forms part of the cover at end of the 
gathering (171c), partly on the second piece of vellum 



350 SUPPLEMENT TO THE CATALOGUE [1319 



stitched to n83. These correspond respectively to pp. 120, 
26,-121, 15 ; and to 121, 16,-122, 1 1. 

The second version of Togail Trot, edited by Stokes in 
Ir. Text. 11. i, runs from p. 127 to 171. At foot of 127, 
col. 1, the scribe signs his name, Maelsechlainn. 

p. 148 was left blank by the original scribe, who noted at 
foot of 147 that there was a defect in his archetype (of. Ir. 
Text. 11. i, line 921). Later hands have scribbled two poems 
on the blank page, one a satire on the Franciscans : Cap 
leth cupa an ecio conpiap ? the other in praise of tobacco : 
Nf boile (?) blaip a cobac, 10 st. 

After 171c are now placed the two folios numbered 
188-191. These are followed by the nine leaves from the 
Book of Lecan, in this order: 192-3, 172-187; but 192 
ought to follow 187. Dr. Abbott ignores the leaf numbered 
194. It contains part of a physical treatise on the composi- 
tion of bodies, homogeneous and heterogeneous. Recto is 
discoloured, and the verso quite illegible. 

pp. 195-278. Not Uraicept na n-Eigeas, but five middle- 
Irish grammatical treatises : (1) on the verb ; (2) p. 23 lb, on 
the noun ; (3) p. 233, on the verb ; (4) p. 239, on the syntax 
of the verb; (5) p. 252, on the noun. The last has been 
edited by Bergin. Eriu, vol. viii, Supplement. The first, 
fourth, and fifth are mainly written by one scribe, helped 
here and there by a second. The other two treatises seem 
to show two or three different hands. 

On p. 199, in a blank space, the name "Domhnall" is 
written in ogham characters. 

p. 219, in the upper margin, a late hand has written ap

Between 264 and 265 there is a slip of paper with Irish

is gone.

pp. 397S-432 (not 435) are all from one hand. The first

by Stokes, Rev. Celt. xxvi. 362. 

At foot of pp. 428-9 a stanza: pill 00 puil . o yich

p. 431, col. 4, following the pedigrees, has the story of 
Solomon's choice of wisdom. 

p. 432 is mainly illegible : col. 2 contained notes on Saul 
and on Cyrus ; col. 3 gave the regnal periods of Solomon, 
Hezekiah, Constantine. 

pp. 433-454 are in much larger characters than 455-462, 
but are, I think, from the same hand. Pp. 433-4 and 460- 
462 are more or less illegible. 

pp. 463-476 make up a gathering, enclosed in two blank 
covering leaves. Down to 47 1 (9), all is by one scribe ; the 
rest is in a more careless hand (or hands). Easnadh Tighe 
Buicheat ends with 464a, and is followed by Tochmarc Luaine. 

pp. 477-482 are by one scribe. At foot of 482 a stanza :

The first treatise (size, gi" x 6£") consists of 31 complete 
folios, with two half-folios. It is the same that we have in 
No. 1343, 47, but the beginning of A, end of E, and 
beginning of F are wanting. Each new letter is introduced 
by an elaborate initial, down to p. 44, where there is a 
change to an inferior hand. The last two items, Sinctber 
and Siucra, are added out of order, at the end, as in No. 1343, 
and there is the same colophon ; but after the date, which

PP- 5— 7S- Fragments of two copies of this commentary 
have been bound together. To the first copy (written 
across the page) belong pp. 5-24 = Aph. iii. 13 to iv. 15 ; 
pp. 41-52 = Aph. iv. 36-68 ; pp. 53-75 = Aph. iv. 76 to v. 63 
(some sections omitted). Of the second copy (two columns 
to page) there remain only pp. 25-40 = Aph. iv. 2-50. 
Comparison of the chapters common to both copies shows 
that they derive from the same original. 

p. 76 is illegible, and the numbering passes on to 79. 

p. 79. This treatise begins with a Latin heading (now 
illegible except for the last word, temore). It is the same 
that we have in No. 1436, 256-292 (acephalous ?). The 
leaves are here in wrong order : after p. 80 should come 
93-96; here a folio or more is lost: then 97-100 (= No. 1436, 
272-278), followed without a break by 81-88 (= No. 1436, 
279-292). 

pp. 89-92 are in another hand and belong to a different 
tract, on the treatment of various febrile symptoms, 
' disma ' (92 a), deafness (92 b), frenesis {ibid). Then after a 
hiatus 101-104 (same hand) seem to belong to the same 
tract : they deal with (101 a) podagra, ophthalmia, oxiremia, 
( 1 o i b) dropsy, (102) cancer, splenetica passio, (103) flegmon :

The general size averages 9" x 6", except 681-710, which 
are 9^" x 7". The numbers usually mean columns, but 
occasionally pages. The total number of folios is 242^, 
besides the smaller slips mentioned by Dr. Abbott. The 
penultimate page is numbered 874. 

Scribes and Marginalia. — Probably no part of this MS. was 
written earlier than the sixteenth century. Notes by different 
scribes abound, except towards the end of the volume, and 
are often difficult to read or interpret. Col. 1-350 seem 
to be the work of two scribes : one is Sean mac Aedagain, 
who calls himself Sean ruad (161, m. inf.), or Sean mac 
Domnaill (120, m. inf.): the other, also no doubt a Mac 
Aedagain, signs as "an Cosnamach" at foot of col. 9 and 
277, at top of 285, etc. : at 325, m. inf., he calls himself " an 
Consantinus." Dr. Abbott {ad col. 311) identifies the two 
men ; but cf. 2722 in Copnamac qui scribsit bo Sean, and 
312, m. inf., Sin buicaSeaain puaib. Several other persons 
are mentioned, no doubt fellow-scribes. Two notes are 
addressed to a Sean dond(\<&z, 161, m. sup.), others refer to 
Cairpre (49s), Eochaid (174, m. inf.), Connla (300, m. inf.), 
Saerbrethach (305-6, m. sup.). The note at 224, m. sup., 
quoted by Dr. Abbott (Marginalia) should read Oeapap 
emamn f Deopdin, etc. It is in a different hand from the 
text. 

There are several notes of place in this part, besides those 
given by Dr. Abbott.

Fleming (in Queen's Co., near Rathdowney). 

col. 339, m. inf. : the scribe writes that Mac William "is 
after burning Corcamoe" (east Galway). 

Between 428 and 429 there is a slip dated 1663 acknow- 
ledging receipt of 6 shillings by John Crawford, esq., of the 
mill of Garvaughy, from Donell o Dawly. The Ms. was at 
this date probably in the possession of D. MacFirbis : see 
Dr. Abbott's Marginalia. 

The note at col. 430 " Constat fol. 108 " is in Lhwyd's 
hand, and does not imply that this particular tract ever con- 
tained 108 leaves. 

The second slip between 436 and 437 is signed mipe 
decagon. This Aedagan (no doubt another MacEgan) 
signs again at foot of 439, giving his location as " Caillin (?) 
fada ruad," and adding a note about Donnchad MacEgan, 
and a prayer for the soul of Fergus MacEgan of Dun 
D(aighre), with the date 1577. This scribe wrote 431 to 
468 (except 465-6) : cp. Dr. Abbott's Marginalia. (The note 
there quoted from col. 448 ends popmac in peipm, " issue of 
the same," i.e. "son of Aodhagan.") The slip between 
454 and 455 ends with a note by him, dated 1577 ( not '57^), 
deploring the death of William, son of Donnchadh riabach 
O'Kelly. 

It is, perhaps, the same Aedagan, using a differently 
sloped hand, who wrote most of 469-633, two or three 
years earlier. His note at 511-512, m. inf., is dated from 
the house of Domnall g\as in Clann macne Eoo-ain, 
i.e. Clonmacnoone on the river Suck. This may explain 
the words mipi apa cochp - in an obscure gloss at foot 
of 537" 8 - Ara Cothraige may be a place-name of the 
Cathraige, or Catraige, whose territory included Clonmac- 
noone : see Onom. s. v. Catraige. For other notes of 
place, see Marginalia.

A scribe who calls himself Gabrial, and who wrote an 
unmistakable script, assisted the Aedagan of 43 1 seq. : 
see the notes cited by Dr. Abbott at 449 and 465. His 
hand is easily recognizable here and there in the part of the 
second Aedagan, e.g. at 562 : here, however (last line), he 
signs as Muircertach, so Gabrial must be a nom de plume. 

A third scribe, Eogan mac Domnaill glais, contributes a 
few columns, and signs at foot of 573 and 576. 

col. 641s. A note, Sin a Concabaip on Co^namaigk, etc. 

p. 644.*, a later note by Gillananaomh, at Baile mic 
Domnaill. 

The part numbered 7io*-83i seems to have belonged 
originally to one and the same volume. It has coloured 
initials throughout. Six hands have been at work : A wrote 
7io*-737, 780-801, 806-826; B wrote 740-77 q ; C (who is 
perhaps A writing large) wrote part of 723 and 738-9*; 
D wrote 827-831 (part); E wrote 801 (part), 802, 826c; 
F wrote 803-5 ana part of 831; E and F are relatively 
late.

There are 249 folios in pt. 1 (counting separately the ten 
"half-leaves" under pp. 138-151), and 225 in pt. 11. 
Probably most of the volume, as far as p. 668, was written 
in the sixteenth century. I cannot agree with Dr. Abbott 
in referring certain parts to the fourteenth century (pp. 214, 
565). At p. 25a 9, at the end of a law tract, there is 
this note : bui pomaeib dna na hCalga innf acbach

It may safely be assumed that the law tracts and

from the school of the Mac Egans, though the only places 
in which their surname occurs are in the note quoted above, 
in the tracts attributed to Giollananaomh MacEgan, p. 157 
seq., and in the poem at p. 355 by the same author. It 
seems also that one of the scribes who wrote the two notes 
quoted by Dr. Abbott at pp. 488, 489 was another Gillana- 
naomh MacEgan ; he may be the same as the Gillananaem 
who signs on p. 25 (see below.) As is usual in mss. coming 
from the MacEgans' scrjool, there are abundant marginalia, 
detached stanzas, and personal notes. From these may be 
gleaned the Christian names of several scribes and the 
places where they worked. Others will be found in 
Dr. Abbott's description.

In the note on p. 443, m. inf., of which Dr. Abbott quotes 
part, and again in another on p. 444, m. inf., the scribe 
mentions his comrades, Magnus and Cosnamach. " Pare " 
is again given as his locus at p. 445 m. sup. 450, 452, and 
454. 

p. 447, m. inf. : SHO buic a Dabii on Copnamac, etc. 
The name "in Cosnamach" was common among the 
MacEgans: cf. marginalia of Nos. 1336 and 1363. O'Grady, 
however (Cat. 1 10), identifies this man, and his friends David 
and Magnus, with Cosny O'Brien and two other scribes of 
Eg. 88. 

pp. 694-699 were written by Cathal mac Muireadhaigh, 
author of the poem on p. 694. He signs (in Latin) on 
p. 698, and gives the date March 15, 1636, on p. 699. 
The latter note refers to .the death of Domnall gorm 
mac Aenghusa and Eoin mac al . . mc Muideaphart. — There 
is on p. 864, m. inf., a note : Sin buic o Ttldipe a t)omnaill

This volume is not, as Dr. Abbott asserts (ad p. 57), all 
written by one hand. Most of it, I think, is the work of 
an unnamed scribe of the sixteenth century, Fitzpatrick's 
part being, perhaps, a little later. He dates his note on 
p. 57 a ccoig na coille Clooa mete an Calbaigk : so the 
entry on fol. 1 should be completed pgpioocap a ccoig na

1341 12" x 8". 

There are eleven vellum leaves at the beginning, the first 
being an independent fragment (8" x 5"). The outer 
margin of almost all the vellum leaves, both at the beginning 
and at the end, is more or less mutilated. 

A hand other than that of the text has written the follow- 
ing marginalia: — 

p. 18. Stanza: [IS] cpua[g] an cep a m[b]iaam : cf. 
No. 1363, 46. Below : [IS] mop an cpuai&e map boloipg

Bally Philip is between Clonmel and Cahir. 

p. 20. Two stanzas, mainly illegible. 

p. 21. Stanza: Mi paoaim bpucc (?) aip 5a bemmne. 

The numbering of the paper begins with 23 (table -of 
contents, imperfect) and runs to 295, but this covers many 
unnumbered pages, which have been left blank without a 
breach of continuity. Nine folios in this part are of whitish 
vellum, matching the paper, pp. 138-9 are out of place, 
and should precede p. 76. Another leaf is missing after 
p. 75. On page 258, at end of bk. 4, there is the colophon :

p. 293. This marvel is borrowed from Liber Marbodi de 
preciosis lapidibus, where " Euax, king of the Arabs," is cited 
as authority. 

pp. 296-311. These vellum leaves contain a fragmentary 
translation or adaptation of a work by Johannes de Sancto 
Paulo on the operation (laxative, astringent, etc.) of various 
foods and medicines. 

In Dr. Abbott's description, the sentence, "Of the vellum, 
p. 3 begins imperfect," etc., is out of place, and should 
follow the first paragraph. 



364 SUPPLEMENT TO THE CATALOGUE [1343 



1343 9" x 6i". 

pp. 41-46 are occupied with a tract on anthrax {filuri) 
written by the scribe of pp. 1 1 1-1 12 (O'Finngaine). 

The " list of plants" begins on p. 47. It is a complete copy 
of the Materia Medica of which we have fragments in Nos. 
1323 and 1334 (not 1332). The last two articles, Sinciber 
and Siucra, are added out of order, but by the same scribe as 
the rest. (Cf. 1323.) The colophon states that the work 
has been drawn a haincecaipib 7 a hepbulaipibh cacpach 
palermeccme 7 bopeip pbuoeiji comaencaig/fo 6occuip7 
pleibe pipalafn ; and further that "the book was finished by

o Cabg, &c), in the month of October on the feast of Luke 
the evangelist, and in the year of our Lord at that time 

O OOOO

o Leigm oapcnb an Leabur po 7 lp ooich Lium muna 
t>eich accuippe opum . . . the rest of this note has been 
carefully scraped away. It seems then that O Cuinn com- 
piled or translated the work from the antidotaries(P) and 
herbals of the schools of Salerno and Montpellier in 1415 ; 
the date of the present copy is undetermined. 

p. 107. In the second line of this tract " Pilip Catelanus " 
is quoted as an authority. 

p. 113. After the tract on leprosy, in a different hand from 
O Finngaine's, comes a page on the stercus of different 
animals ; this ends middle of p. 114; the rest of this page 
is blank ; the next folio (unnumbered) has only scribblings. 

p. 115. This treatise is part of the same which is found 
(again fragmentary) in No. 1435, 233-248 and 221-232, q.v. 
P. 115, 32, of our MS. Nuncd'icamus de [e]vac[u]asione que 
fit per uomitum = No. 1435, 243; p. 123 = No. 1435, 221. 
Ends on 143 b " Finit, amen " ; rest of column and next page 
are blank except for scribbles. 

The last treatise is also, I think, in O Finngaine's hand. 
It seems to be founded on the Liliurn Medicinae. It deals 
with (145) quinsy; (148) uvula ; (155) cough ; (163) phthisis; 
(170) blood-spitting; (173) " empima " ; (177) pleurisy; 
(186) " perphmonia " ; (187) tremor cordis. Ends incom- 
plete on p. 188. 

For" p. 139," "p. 142," "P-I45" read "p. 14c," "p. 148," 
"p. 151"; and/or Tg]ula W [uv]ula. V 

The volume must have belonged about 1688 to a 
FitzGerald; several members of the family have written
